Nightingales (Luscinia megarhynchos), for example, can manipulate the patterns of their songs to form up to 200 different melodies.
They sit down at their computer and manipulate the patterns of the four molecules to design the genes that will make that function happen.
In a preliminary study published last year, researchers manipulated the patterns of light and darkness to which mice were exposed in order to test what effect, if any, this would have on their fertility.
His work included renditions of the skyline with three, four or more towers, as well as depictions of the towers as canvases upon which images could be drawn by manipulating the pattern of lights in the windows at night.
Using a narrow tunnel whose inside was vertically or axially lined, we manipulated the pattern of visual input, which is received by the foragers during flight, and analysed kakusei expression.
We manipulated the pattern of viral gene expression by experimentally inducing virus lytic reactivation from latency.
As reprogramming of medulloblastoma cells appears to be possible by interfering with enzymes manipulating epigenetic patterns, a combination of histone demethylase and deacetylase (HDACs) inhibitors might prove useful to prevent the development of resistance to treatment and achieve a maximal effect.
Alden and Taylor (2011) found that classical cognitive-behavioral interventions can be enhanced by attempts to directly manipulate the interpersonal patterns of clients from rigid, cold, and submissive behaviors to an ability to flexibly adapt to changing situational demands (Kashdan & Rottenberg, 2010).
"It opens up an area of study where manipulating or enhancing patterns of neural activity in the brain after stroke could enhance recovery".
This phenotypic plasticity is likely to improve light harvesting and its adaptive value has been demonstrated in Impatiens capensis [6], by manipulating the growth pattern of seedlings using light qualities that induce, or not, the shade avoidance syndrome, organizing the obtained plants in high and low density plots and measuring the fitness of each phenotype in each case.
