These tools are open to bias from care-givers' mood and sense of burden and many commonly used scales only provide a snapshot of functional impairment.
We analyzed snapshots of functional genome annotation over a period of 6 years to assess temporal changes reflected by the increase of the average Gene Characterization Index.
To take a snapshot on the functional representation of the cDNAs, we identified from the 10,608 FL-cDNAs genes encoding nine key enzymes involved in lignin biosynthesis (KEGG PATH: ko00940, http://www.genome.jp/kegg/. A total of 35 cDNAs were identified, with at least one and as many as nine cDNAs found for each of the nine enzymes (Table 2).
Thus, a spatio-temporal movie of such cognitive activity can be captured, for example, by a series of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) snapshots taken at consecutive times while the subject engages in a specific cognitive task.
Since the mutants originate from a directed evolution experiment and are functional, the data provide an evolutionary snapshot of how a protein structure can respond to mutations while maintaining a functional molecular architecture.
Advances resulting from these hardware and software improvements are helping to reveal the mechanisms of operation of macromolecular machines by providing snapshots of their different functional states.
High-throughput sequencing of whole microbial communities provides global snapshots of community and functional composition, as opposed to more conventional analyses that are species and gene specific (Hugenholtz and Tyson 2008).
The functional similarity scores were computed using a snapshot of our data warehouse that contained only gene annotations from before January 1 , 2009
Further, our miRNA and mRNA Bayesian correlation analysis has provided an unambiguous snapshot of miRNA and mRNA functional interactions and their biological significance.
Intuitively, if a functional module performs a function that requires a sequence of steps (like in the case of a signaling pathway) then we would like functional groups to be snapshots of protein associations at these steps.
