The phrase "functional cohesion" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to software engineering, programming, or systems design, where it refers to a situation where components of a system work together to achieve a specific function.
Example: "The module exhibits functional cohesion, as all its components contribute to a single, well-defined task."
Alternatives: "operational unity" or "task-oriented cohesion."
Because sororin is required for functional cohesion, this result suggested that the G2/M checkpoint function of cohesin could be uncoupled from its function in sister-chromatid cohesion.
An iterative decomposition procedure for complex production systems was developed which is completed when a set of functional elements is selected that meets the criterion of functional cohesion.
They define the thresholds for few attributes, high functional cohesion and low cohesion according to the software characteristics.
The significance of the functional cohesion was measured by a Fisher's exact test.
Most cells were in fact able to form normal metaphase plates, indicating functional cohesion at the centromeres.
Including regulators of GTPases or MHC class proteins has important functional significance and should be included in gene set analysis and functional cohesion determinations.
Functional relationships between genes were derived by Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) of Medline abstracts and used to calculate the function cohesion of gene sets.
We found that most of the gene sets had statistically significant literature cohesion, indicating that our method correctly identifies functional coherence of gene sets.
They are unlikely to have arisen due to precocious sister separation, before anaphase, because we did not observe any prophase or early prometaphase cells with separated sister centromeres after Rad21 depletion, and in live cell analysis by time lapse microscopy, mitotic arrest with separated sisters was preceded by metaphase plate formation indicating functional sister centromere cohesion.
Thus, it is not the cohesin complex per se but rather damage-induced functional sister-chromatid cohesion that is required for DNA repair.
Thus, it does not evaluate the overall cohesion or functional significance of the DEG list.
