For example, Deng et al. (2003) modeled functional linkages as a Markov network, predicting a gene's function based on the functions of its neighbors.
Caribbean coral reef habitats, seagrass beds and mangroves provide important goods and services both individually and through functional linkages.
The typology is based on geomorphologic, geological and hydrological concepts reflecting functional linkages and controlling flow processes on gradually smaller spatial scales.
However, the functional linkages between start-ups and port activities remains rather limited, if not entirely absent, and the impact on the functioning of the innovation ecosystem at large is not substantial.
One such metaphor is that the regional road network is the "region's bloodstream" where blockages or bottlenecks must be eliminated in order to strengthen functional linkages.
Fragmentation has a significant effect on overall habitat availability and quality (Dixo et al. 2009) with consequences for species survival, abundance, dispersal and the functional linkages amongst habitat patches (Scolozzi and Geneletti 2012; Gao et al. 2013).
To gain more insights into the integral regulatory network mediated by OsWRKY80 and OsWRKY4, further investigations are needed to explore additional functional linkages with MPK cascades and other novel components.
Genes displaying > = 50 functional linkages are predicted as 'network-hubs'.
Different types of genomics data sets differ considerably in their utility for inferring functional linkages.
We also employed two independent functional linkage reference sets for testing functional linkages.
Novel functional linkages could be identified for genes involved in mycolate biosynthesis using phylogenetic profiling.
