Each questionnaire contains 30 developmental items divided into 5 areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal social.
The mean normalized level of gene expression, as defined here by the sum of all the RPKM for all developmental stages divided by the total number of lineage-specific genes, was generally higher in later-stage embryos and early larval stages than in early-stage embryos.
Indeed, the enzyme telomerase was first purified from Tetrahymena, a protozoan organism that as part of its developmental programme divides its large chromosomes into thousands of smaller segments each of which needs telomeres to be added de novo (Blackburn et al, 2006).
Based on the studies by Itoh et al. (2005) and information from Oryzabase (http://www.shigen.nig.ac.jp/rice/oryzabase/top/top.jsp), rice panicle and seed developmental stages were divided into 6 and 5 major categories, respectively.
The list of genes that were differentially expressed due to changes in developmental time was divided between sites to identify general and location-specific components (results not shown).
(11) The developmental plan was divided into two stages.
To capture snapshots of the fly transcriptome at specific developmental stages, we divided our analysis into 6 time points.
We calculated enrichment in a particular developmental stage by dividing the expression in that stage by the average of expression in all other stages.
Additionally, for analytical studies, pistils from different developmental stages were divided into two parts, stigma with style and ovary, by using a razor blade.
Typical Babesiidae developmental forms (trophozoite, dividing stages, and free merozoites) were observed, as were more atypical schizont-like parasites, which seemed to produce numerous merozoites.
For simplicity, we will present these data grouped into gene pairs mutually compared through the three developmental stages studied, dividing the material in two blocks dedicated to the rostral and caudal raphe clusters, respectively.
