Morphological comparisons were performed independently by B.V.B. and C.C. using a modified version (1 extra trait, some additional trait values) of the categorical shell-morphological character scoring system of Facon et al. [ 20].
In their framework, the probability of a trajectory can be calculated in terms of the probability of going from an arbitrary intermediate phenotype to a phenotype with one extra trait (see image on page 1).
If you just want to become equals in general and that's it, then don't act like you are any better then them, or have any extra qualifying traits that would make you most popular!
There was a good deal of enforced bed hopping and one had to hear about the extra-special traits of the No. 1 — the extra-deep springs, the oak base, its cashmere innards.
Plasmids usually evolve as an integral part of the bacterial genome, consisting of several extra-chromosomal traits, one of which is their resistance genes, which can be exchanged among bacteria of different origins by conjugation [ 34].
At the shoot, which was in California, she raced the natural light to go for the extra shot, a trait dear to a director's heart.
The term denotes anything on a spectrum of vehicles with a unibody frame on a car platform but that maintain SUV-like traits including extra cargo space, a higher seating position and sometimes an extra seat or two in the back.
Genotyping and field data collection are costly and the relative advantage of using SNP data in selection depends on these costs versus the value of the extra improvement in the traits of interest.
Based on the range of costs observed in testing stations in France and other countries (IFIP, French Pork and Pig Institute survey in 2005, personal communication), and assuming amortization of buildings and equipment over a 10-year period, a low (€150), medium (€350) and high (€550) cost per extra sib phenotyped for trait 2 were considered.
