This is restrictive since functionally related genes may display the same expression pattern but differ in absolute quantity.
Despite differing in absolute quantity (no international standard is available for standardization), the present findings fit with the report by Yasuda et al. (20) of significantly higher plasma sC5b-9 levels in patients with AMI (810 ± 80 μg/L [mean ± SEM]) than with unstable angina (150 ± 50 μg/L), stable angina (90 ± 60 μg/L), or healthy control subjects (60 ± 30 μg/L).
Despite being an outlier value however, they are not laid too far away in absolute quantities.
Expressed in absolute quantities, this method yielded the second-highest number of precisely quantified peptides.
Despite differences in absolute quantities, miRNAs highlighted as most expressed in cells are frequently present among the most expressed miRNAs in clinical samples.
However, this alone cannot account for the large difference in the content of metabolites produced by the trichomes which in absolute quantities can exceed 100 fold.
Our own observations suggest that the agreement between the expected and the experimental ratios correlates with the abundance of protein measured (in terms of absolute quantity) in samples being compared, suggesting that protein abundance is fundamental to the reliability of the relative quantitation.
Therefore, in terms of absolute quantity, the development of compression tracheids may require higher rates of cellulose synthesis.
In purist terms the integrated DNA should reflect the true 'reservoir' of replication competent viral DNA, however the presence of unintegrated genomes (as reflected in the greater absolute quantity of Total DNA) may be indicative of slower dynamics of ART suppression, compartmentalization of replication or even on-going replication in the face of ART, depending on one's reading of the literature.
In addition, fragment peak height is a direct function of the absolute quantity in the sample, such that the relative heights of the corresponding "methylated" and "unmethylated" peaks provide a quantitative score of methylation of the corresponding "CpG unit".
So the center is not identified with any body, and so perhaps direction-to-center is an absolute quantity in the theory, not understood fundamentally as direction to some body (merely contingently as such if some body happens to occupy the center).
