However, three different colonies from the patient HC2 had divergent patterns of hybridization on the CGH array containing the H99 genome, suggesting sequence heterogeneity.
Duplicated genes often have divergent expression patterns in tissues.
All aquaporin transcripts were expressed in adult tissues and found to have divergent expression patterns.
We argued that this is the reason why GOBPs have divergent motif patterns.
Expression data show that most of these duplicated genes have divergent expression patterns that may be because they have undergone neofunctionalization or subfunctionalization, though sufficient experimentation is required to prove this hypothesis.
Several HJ substrates were analyzed for cleavage and incision mapping, showing that BTBD12 and associating proteins have divergent incision patterns, and only 25% of resolved products are religatable (Fekairi et al. 2009; Munoz et al. 2009; Svendsen et al. 2009).
All this is in contrast to the other mentioned conifer species EST assemblies that are, at least partially, composed of normalized mRNA libraries and also include mRNA extracted from several tissues including root, which in general have divergent expression patterns [ 21, 22, 43, 44].
In previous studies, monocot and dicot species were shown to have divergent gene expression patterns in response to abiotic stresses or ABA application [ 11, 39].
As random shuffled gene pairs should have divergent function and expression patterns, we utilized r < 0.59 as an indicator of divergent expression.
In summary, our results demonstrate that limnetics and benthics have divergent MHC genotypes in a pattern consistent with the divergence also observed between populations along the pelagic-littoral gradient (Figures 1).
