We then took the first column from the resulting mutual information matrix as the measure of the directed relationship from the predictors to the target gene.
RNA-seq is a novel strategy to obtain information about gene expression, and although not much information has been generated by this strategy, some data suggest that there is not a direct relationship between the data from microarrays and the data from RNA-seq.
More recently, the characterization of QTLs with large effect involved in phosphorus uptake (Gamuyao et al. [2012]) and in yield under drought (Kumar et al. [2013]; Swamy et al. [2013]) revealed direct relationship with or contribution from root traits.
Granovetter's strong and weak ties asks whether people adjoining each other are in a direct relationship, or more distant from each other, that is, merely acquaintances.
Although it is a common practice in high-field clinical MRI to manage RF heating by adopting low angle refocusing pulses, this work demonstrates a direct relationship between such deviations from the Hahn spin echo condition and undesirable loss of tissue contrasts affecting diagnostic quality.
Mine is a reaction to the catastrophe in Japan, while others have no direct relationship to it, but proceeds from all will be given to an institution, still to be determined, that helps victims of the earthquake.
Another possibility is that this results from a direct relationship with expression level.
In an earlier study from Mexico, direct relationship between the living stage of cysts and the presence of antibodies against E/S antigens has been reported [ 21].
Apart from a direct relationship between EI and JS, research has also established the mediating role of different variables, such as positive and negative affect, as well as personal accomplishment, in the EI-JS relationship [ 13, 41].
In implementing Brillouin spectroscopy for in vivo measurements a further disadvantage arises from the direct relationship of the incident wavelength to the wavelength shift of the inelastically scattered light (Fig. 2 ).
