For PR Lead Steffi Wu, who was part of the design sprint team, the diverge phase of Day 2 — in which the team puts down as many ideas as possible on Post-Its — was the most important part of the process.
After gene duplication, the two copies of a gene diverge (Phase I) and subsequently one copy can degrade (nonfunctionalization), assume an entirely new function (neofunctionalization), or the two copies may reduce their functions to complementary subsets (subfunctionalization). Figure from Force et al. (1999).
As expected when the introns were present before the protein sequences diverged, intron phase was found to be conserved in the set of putative conserved splice sites (cf. Fig. 2).
It's scissored lengthwise into strips that rise and fall out of phase, like ribbons, diverging and reconverging at various points to form steps, landings, and walkways.
Regardless of these differences, all of the vaccinees successfully contained acute-phase VL, before diverging into controllers and non-controllers during the chronic infection-phase (Figs. 4 B and C).
The two nullclines remain close together over a large part of the subsequent E–I phase space before diverging.
As summarized above, the definition of a substorm onset (i.e., substorm expansion phase onset) is currently diverging and is sometimes confused.
Most probably, the populations started to diverge during earlier phases of the glacial periods and not necessarily in the last glaciation, explaining the deep mitochondrial divergences observed [ 59, 60].
Total cell counts were similar to live cell counts in the first phase of the biphasic response curve but diverged in the second phase.
We also consider that at the scale of the array used, each phase is propagating as converging or diverging cylindrical waves with a constant slowness.
