Here we explore the sometimes conflicting definitions of life itself establishing that there are two great categories of physicochemical processes that characterize living systems: (1) matter-energy transfer (all organisms require energy and nutrients to develop, grow, and maintain the soma); and (2) the genetic processes underlying reproduction.
For the poised RTSSs we collected terms from the same GREAT categories as for the metaclusters, but now we used the general human genomic background provided by GREAT rather than a customized background for the analysis.

Organisms "fit into the world" in another, very different way—springing not from reproduction (as in the definition of species and their evolution from one to another) but rather from the other great category of biological process: matter/energy transfer or, in short, how organisms survive and "make a living" in the world.
So, if you're a gaming app, you picked a great category, but so did many other competitors, just at a time when the leading gaming company is struggling in the public market and struggling to keep games fresh on mobile.
FDR, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan have vied for top honors in the great or near-great categories in recent years, and Richard Nixon has almost always ranked near the bottom.
As shown, lignin's valorization can be separated into several greater categories of value-added applications, feedstock for energy production, a raw material in low-volume, high-value chemicals, a raw material in high volume, low value chemicals, and as a "precursor for material applications" [31].
