This methodology does not ensure that the gene of interest and the Rhagoletis EST are orthologs or even fulfil the same function, but does provide a first hypothesis for future functional studies.
In 2007, Greengrass – alongside the director Charles Sturridge – established Directors UK, a national body which aims to fulfil the same function that the high-profile Directors Guild of America does in the US.
Nevertheless, as peat ash reinforcement does offer increased tensile and flexural properties, this may make the end product lighter as lower wall thickness parts can be used to fulfil the same function.
She has noted that following Ethel's retirement from the serial, the production team at EastEnders attempted to replicate Dot and Ethel's friendship by introducing a number of "'friends' to fulfil the same function of a female friend for Dot and the series".
Sc-miRNAs can fulfil the same function through a complementary approach – by assembling two non-related miRNA loci in the same transcriptional unit.
Although it lacks an RNase E homologue, B. subtilis and its relations use entirely different ribonucleases that fulfil the same function: RNase Y and RNase J [42 45].
All known animal TPX2 proteins have an Aurora binding domain as well as RNA binding and recognition domains, and thus probably fulfil the same function in the different species (Weiner and Bornberg-Bauer 2006).
Also, some people have shown that if you inhibit one cell type in the microenvironment, the tumour can bring in another cell type to accomplish the same task: for example, if you inhibit macrophages, the cancer might be able to bring in immature neutrophils to fulfil the same function.
