Generally speaking, it also implies that alternative splicing may function as a means for directing variation in secondary metabolite production throughout the course of plant development.
We find that variations in the background noise modify the amplitude of the cross-correlation function as strongly as variations of synaptic strength.
Our key finding was that feeding capacity was a positive function of AS; individual variation in AS was associated with twofold variation in how much food fish of a given size were able to consume per day.
By replacing the energy E in Schrödinger's equation with a time-derivative operator, he generalized his wave equation to determine the time variation of the wave function as well as its spatial variation.
It is thus possible that the members of the PGRS and MPTR subfamilies have evolved to function as a source of antigenic variation; a function which probably differs from the original function still performed by the members of the "ancestral-type" subgroup (including the members present within and associated with the ESAT-6 (esx) gene cluster regions).
This effect appears in the autocorrelation function as faster variation compared to that of Jakes' model.
Variations in exon 1 of the OPG gene could result in a qualitative alteration of OPG synthesis, thus compromising its function as a decoy receptor, whereas variations in the sequence of the promoter region of the OPG gene could result in altered binding of different transcription factors, thus affecting the expression of OPG (quantitative alteration) and consequently the OPG/RANKL ratio.
Variations in exon 1 of the OPG gene could result in a qualitative alteration of OPG synthesis, thus compromising its function as a decoy receptor, whereas variations in the sequence of the promoter region of the OPG gene could result in altered binding of different transcription factors, thus affecting the expression of OPG [ 24].
Interest in survivalism — in either its traditional hard-core version or a middle-class "lite" variation — functions as a leading economic indicator of social anxiety, preparedness experts said: It spikes at times of peril real (the post-Sept. 11 period) or imagined (the chaos that was supposed to follow the so-called Y2K computer bug in 2000).
In addition, genetic variation functions as a valuable resource for mapping phenotypic traits in model organisms.
The mechanism of eQTL regulation functions as a bridge between upstream genetic variation and downstream phenotypes; eQTL can control the transcript expression of functional genes through DNA binding, mRNA splicing, and noncoding RNA expression in transcriptional regulation, thereby conferring the alterations of downstream phenotypes [ 17].
