According to gene expression measures from MPSS experiments, extreme transcript lengths (or total/average intron lengths, number of introns per gene) scale as power-laws of expression level, which could be expressed as: L max ∝ N- α, where 0 < α < 1 is the exponent of power-law and L max represents the maximum transcript lengths for genes expressed at each level.
Similar trend could be deduced for energy-cost of translational processes, as extreme CDS lengths also scale as power-laws of expression levels.
Using expression measures from MPSS experiments, log-transformed extreme structural values were found to be well linearly related with log-transformed expression levels, suggesting that extreme strucural parameters could scale as power-laws of expression levels (see Figure 2 and Table 2).
Previously, Jansen and Gerstein also reported that protein length of yeast genes could scale as a power-law of expression level [ 22].
Thus, the extreme energy-cost of transcription could scale as a positive power-law of expression level, i.e. E max ∝ N1- α.
I'm here to defend: Tolerance, The Rule of Law, Freedom of Expression, Community, Equality, on behalf of everyone".
The values of the European Enlightenment – tolerance, the health of dissent, the rule of law, freedom of expression, pluralism – are not needed here.
Asscher ticked them off on his fingers, like a keen schoolmaster: "The rule of law, freedom of expression, non-discrimination, faith as a strictly private affair".
Amnesty has called for the UK government to "explain its actions and publicly affirm its commitment to the rule of law, freedom of expression and the independence of media".
Probably the two most controversial recruits have been Russia and Croatia, since both still fall far short of council standards over the rule of law, freedom of expression and much else.
Double standards The recent arrest of French comedian Dieudonne M'bala M'bala is a good illustration of the subtleties governing the fractious relationship between the law, freedom of expression, and humor.
