Another mechanism is morphogen transport via cytonemes, which are actin-based cellular extensions which may extend for distances many times the diameter of the cells [25].
However, in self-pollinating crops such as barley, LD commonly extends for distances of up to 10 cM (Kraakman et al. 2004), and in some Arabidopsis populations, LD exceeds 50 cM (Nordborg et al. 2002).
However, in the modern setting of inexpensive complete sequencing, an LD profile extending for shorter distances allows higher resolution and finer mapping of causal variants.
Thousand Islands, group of more than 1,500 small isles in the St . Lawrence Riverin North America, extending for a distance of 80 miles (128 km) from the Prince Edward Peninsula to Brockville, Ontario, Canada.
The western margin of the Deccan Trap is characterized by these thermal springs, extending for a distance of about 300 km along the Konkan coast in the Thane, Raigad, and Ratnagiri districts of Maharashtra (Chandrasekharam [2005]; Kumar et al. [2011]).
Extensive linkage disequilibrium (intermarker correlation) results in association signals extending for some distance across many loci.
In addition, the recent small effective population size in Holstein Friesian cattle has led to useful LD extending for considerably larger distances than in humans for example, which increase the prospects of finding associations with the marker density used in this experiment [19] [21].
The present measurements also show that foam lamellae in porous media can extend for considerable distances, greater than the length of individual pores, if oriented parallel to the overall direction of flow.
This space stretches and contracts, extends for indefinite distances into, under and beyond the earth, right out through the house into dimensions that are impossible to fathom.
The chapter shows that where the use of a longitudinal web stiffener provides only minimal benefit, the use of an additional bottom flange plate extending for a short distance over the support can lead to substantial strength gains.
