Although the threshold level of SMN protein necessary to maintain motor neurons has not been adequately determined, it is reasonable to predict that doubling or tripling the amount of full length SMN protein should be sufficient to prevent or diminish clinical progression.
No investigation of the diet of hybrid Phoxinus has been published, but it is reasonable to predict that, given their intermediate trophic morphology, the composition of the hybrids' diet would overlap with both parental species.
Since inflammation is associated with brain dysfunction, it is reasonable to predict that septic patients, who are recognized by and large to have more inflammation than general ICU patients, would demonstrate a singular relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and brain dysfunction.
Given that CHO1 mRNA decays by the primary 5′ 3′ decay pathway when cells are respiratory sufficient (Parker and Song 2004), it is reasonable to predict that the rate of deadenylation and/or decapping may be reduced when respiration is blocked.
Ballard and Rand [ 1], in a revision, gave three main reasons why it is reasonable to predict that mtDNA variation may be under strong selection: i) Mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell and, in most organisms, a reduction in ATP production is expected to reduce fecundity.
Considering that 8,5′-cyclo-2′-deoxyadenosine has been observed previously in cells and tissues, it is reasonable to predict that α-dNs should also be formed at appreciable levels in vivo.
Since the discovery of the transfer region of the conjugative F plasmid and Ti plasmid of A. tumefaciens, similar systems have been discovered in a wide variety of other bacteria and it is reasonable to predict that many more will be discovered with the increasing number of bacterial genomes being sequenced.
Given that some dye-type peroxidases, which are active against KL and lignin model compounds, have been identified in several bacteria [ 3], it is reasonable to predict that the detected enzymes form C. basilensis B-8 may belong to this group.
Given that both CIB1 and Plk3 are expressed in megakaryocytes, they interact, and Plk3 is implicated in several processes related to mitosis, it is reasonable to predict that CIB1 and Plk3 have a role in endomitosis.
Because of its distinctive input (plasma) and output (urine), it is reasonable to predict that the kidney will be the first organ whose functions are further elucidated by proteomic methods in the near future.
Therefore, it is reasonable to predict that LOC_Os06g39750 is the candidate gene for qPSST6.
