In our case a clonal complex is a cluster of PPs, after MST analysis, in which all PPs with less than 5 changes ( = less than 12.5% distance in the similarity matrix) are linked.
Two major histochemically-defined compartments of the striatum, the striosomes and the matrix, contribute differentially to functional striatal networks: striosomes are part of the neural pathways associated with reward and motivation, while cells in matrix are linked to circuits involved in sensory-motor control and function [34], [35].
Taxon names from the Materials list and matrix were linked to currently accepted (according to the Catalog of Fishes, CoF, [25]) taxon names from the TTO by undergraduate student workers using Phenex.
Each TRANSFAC matrix was linked to a set of gene symbols describing potential binding factors using annotations present in the "Binding Factor" field of the database.
However, they formed unmistakable clusters from the regulatory strength matrix, being linked to the regulatory influence of either STAT6 or MYC.
In a literature review, Kuht et al. indicated that cell death and extracellular matrix degradation are linked and contribute to the chronic matrix remodeling process that characterizes OA [ 34].
In contrast, those two groups can be separated with clustering on the regulatory strength matrix, and are linked to the regulatory influence of transcription factor DREB2A, HTA13 and NTL6.
In FAs, integrins, which are the main adhesion receptors binding to extracellular matrix proteins, are linked to the actin cytoskeleton by a large number of FA plaque proteins [ 1, 2].
Matrix proteins are linked to the cellular cytoskeleton via integrins, which convert information about the substrate to the inside of the cell thereby providing essential signals for cell migration.
