Sentence examples for gene fluidity from inspiring English sources

As mentioned above, within species AAI correlates very well with gene fluidity (P ≪ 0.001, for all comparisons, excluding H. influenza for which P = 0.0056; table 1).

At the same time, when we carried out our comparisons across species, we found only a marginally significant correlation between the minimal AAI of a species and its maximal gene fluidity (P = 0.034, according to the Spearman Rank correlation test; table 1).

A set of genes encoding membrane fluidity and defensive proteins were highly enriched only in K354, suggesting that they contribute to the inherent CT of K354.

Note that genomic fluidity summarizes gene frequency distributions, however multiple gene frequency distributions may be compatible with the same value of genomic fluidity.

However, the precise relationship between variation in gene composition and genomic fluidity with underlying mechanisms of gene family diversification are yet to be resolved [ 15].

Another measure of genomic similarity at the gene level is genomic fluidity, which is 0.32 for these S. meliloti genomes, in the range found for intraspecies polymorphism (Kislyuk et al. 2011) and in agreement with that of other rhizobial species (Tian et al. 2012).

Since GOS is affected by rearrangements of core genes and by the number of accessory gene insertions/deletions whereas genomic fluidity (Eq. 6 and [ 33]) is affected by the number of accessory genes, the relationship between the two indicates how strong is the effect of adding accessory genes on GOS.

Mutations in the mprF and yycFG genes, related to membrane fluidity changes or fatty acid biosynthesis, were identified recently as possible contributors to daptomycin nonsusceptibility [ 5, 8].

These genomes display considerable fluidity in overall structure, gene content, and gene order.

Finally, we show that a recently proposed gene diversity index - genomic fluidity [ 19] - is a natural parameter emerging in the neutral models of genome evolution described here.

When either minimum alignment identity or coverage is increased, more gene families are formed and fluidity increases (see Additional file 1, Figure S5).
