The use of this gene as a marker for fast detection of infections caused by these 2 streptococcal species was investigated.
The decrease of leptin is as expected because it is known to be a positive marker for fasting or weight loss [ 28- 30].
On the other hand, Aph1bc loss of function did not affect the intensity of positive puncta for VGAT, that labels all inhibitory terminals, and for PV, a specific marker for fast spiking interneurons.
Some food items were not included for their nutritional relevance, but rather as a marker of certain types of foods/diets, for example ketchup as a marker for fast food, soy products as a marker for alternative diets and rice porridge as a marker of traditional foods.
This matrix was then pruned to about 11,000 SNPs by averaging across a window of 20 consecutive markers for faster analyses and reduction of genotyping errors [ 58].
Together with the stepwise screening technique, this study also used three types of markers: (i) peak markers which are tightly-linked to the QTL region; (ii) flanking markers to eliminate the linkage drag; and (iii) background markers for fast recovery of the recipient parent's genetic background (Neeraja et al. (2007).
Sequencing of the transcriptome from enriched glandular trichome preparations from A. annua was performed by Graham et al. on the Roche 454 platform to identify genes and markers for fast-track breeding [ 2].
Standard laboratory variables such as CRP have a slow kinetic profile rendering it an inappropriate marker for a fast evaluation of the dynamics of an infection [ 18].
Because of their name parvalbumin is a marker for the so-called "fast-spiking" population of interneurons and previous in vivo results [5], we expected that ChR2-tagged neurons would be more responsive.
An ideal DNA barcoding marker for taxonomic classification should be fast-evolving to allow classification at the species level but must also contain highly conserved priming sites and be highly reliable for DNA amplification and sequencing [ 40].
