"There's a great degree of difference in the amount of accuracy required between a book about Ezra Pound and a book about Barbara Hutton," he said.
The apparent dominance of paedomorphosis in the evolution of major morphological novelties is due, in part, to the greater degree of morphological difference between very early embryonic and adult forms than between adult morphologies that have been accelerated or extended by hypermorphosis.
In contrast, there was a much greater degree of splicing difference between placental and other human tissues, with 1.6% of exons, on average, being differentially spliced between one of the placental tissues and one of the 16 HBM2.0 tissues.
This is not to say that the homologues or orthologues of the genes present in rice on Pm11 and Pm12 and other cold-spots are absent from the other monocots – but it does suggest a greater degree of DNA coding sequence differences and so possible divergence in structure and function of the protein products from those regions of the genome.
Also, the greater degree of heterogeneity and regional differences noted in the emm types circulating in the community and minimal cross-protection against heterologous strains poses challenges to the development of N-terminal-based multivalent vaccine pointing to an urgent need for identifying an effective strategy for vaccine development in India.
The male-biased genes also showed a greater degree of sex-bias: the median expression difference between the sexes was 2.13-fold for male-biased genes and 1.25-fold for female biased genes (Wilcoxon test, P < 0.001).
Dichotomization of continuous scores (true or observed ones) discards information about individual differences, measures individual differences with a greater degree of error, therefore, decreasing the reliability of measurement and, as discussed above, resulting in artificially lower effect sizes [41].
Similarly, natural causes can readily be found to explain the difference between the greater degree of devastation suffered in Haiti than in Chile: the proximity of the Haitian quake epicenter to heavily populated Port-au-Prince as compared to the more rural epicenter in Chile, poorer building construction codes in Haiti than in Chile, and so forth.
"It had broader ramifications for the culture we live in, inculcating a greater degree of tolerance and more awareness of sexual difference.
