Beads were washed as previously described and divided into two samples for subsequent protein or RNA analysis.
This group comprises ∼41 described species, divided into two sections: Pedrosia and Rhyncholotus (or the 'rhyncholotus group') (Degtjareva et al. 2006).

The more than 40 human chemokines described are divided into four groups as follows (Bacon et al, 2002): the 'CXC' chemokines, defined by the presence of a single amino acid residue surrounded by two cysteines; the 'CC' chemokines, defined by two adjoined cysteine molecules; the 'XC' chemokines, defined by the loss of one cysteine residue; and the 'C3XC' chemokines (three interposed amino acids).
Neal Stephenson did so more than twenty years ago with The Diamond Age, in which he described a world divided into dozens of different distributed nations, called "phyles," each with its own scattered archipelago of territory around the world, along with cities and shared land where laws were dictated by the Common Economic Agreement among the phyles).
