Put crudely, women did not want to have sex with selfish men in primitive hunting times, meaning their genes were less likely to be passed on.
As shown in Fig. 3, all the M values of the tested genes were less than 1.5.
Even though both genes were less active in iPS cells, the cells were just as efficient as ES cells at absorbing and digesting glucose.
TRIM genes were less susceptible to type II IFN, since only TRIM19/PML, TRIM22 and TRIM25 were up-regulated approximately 5-fold and MEFV/TRIM20 18-fold.
Based on genomic coordinates 72 HOX genes were grouped into tentative gene clusters if the genes were less than 20 kbp apart.
The remaining genes were less divergent; however, the HA gene grouping was maintained in the majority of the other genomic segments (Figures S3 to S9), namely NA, PA, PB1 and PB2.
We further observed that 13 out of 26 significantly down-regulated genes were less than 2-fold and the functions of 10 genes with fold value more than two is not yet known (Table. 1).
Comparing consensus motif occurrence in binding regions adjacent to genes down-regulated and up-regulated by PPARγ, we found that repressed genes were less significantly associated with a motif as compared to induced genes (Table S3).
Simmons et all [27] have shown a molecular signature on PBMCs discriminating early and late phases of DSS and they reported that genes transcripts of IFN-stimulated genes were less abundant in DSS patients than in patients without DSS, whereas the genes involved on apoptosis were up-regulated in the DSS patients.
The other genes were less frequently used.
In general, NIP aquaporin genes were less abundantly expressed.
