The proteins involved in these functions in different samples were often phylogenetically distinct, suggesting functional convergence in disparate lineages.
As is the case for Has-tsfgr1, it is difficult to infer whether this is due to sequence homology, or whether it is the result of a functional convergence on a motif that provides a particular structure and/or function.
In addition, despite the different RVD composition between PthA"s" and PthC"s", our results indicate a targeting of functionally-related genes, which further support a model where TAL effectors display the functional convergence by selective evolution as general TATA-binding proteins [ 24, 25].
When the eye is light-adapted, functional convergence is small, and sensitivity of rods and cones is low; as dark adaptation proceeds, convergence of rods increases.
In this case, sequence convergence is promoted by functional convergence.
Accumulating results reveal an intriguing functional convergence between FOXP3 and inhibitors of histone deacetylases.
Clinical reports and anatomical connectivity studies have suggested a possible functional convergence of frontal lobes and cerebellum.
Our work paves the way for realizing high-response, reversible graphene-based room-temperature chemoresistive sensors for further functional convergence.
The present study thus examines the spatial and functional convergence of the DMN and the semantic memory system.
Partial structural and functional convergence of the underlying mechanisms allows speculation about an extended subcortico-cortical network.
Finally, we present a discussion on the functional convergence of sequences of WED functionals and present some application of the abstract theory to nonlinear PDEs.
