Here x i denotes the maximum of overlapped gene numbers between I i and each individual C k (k = 1,..., n) divided by | I i |.
Overall, a positive correlation was shown between the residual maximum lifespan and residual CD33rSIGLEC gene numbers (controlling for both body mass and phylogeny).
The model included CD33rSiglec gene numbers as response, maximum lifespan and body mass as covariates.
This analysis classified the TIR genes into five main modules, each representing 140 genes (the maximum number of genes that the program associates with each module).
Gap parameter was set to five genes, representing maximum number of consecutive genes not part of synteny group.
From LCDNRG, 39 genes showed negative correlation to phytohormone associated genes and among them maximum number of genes were associated to auxin constituting 28.2% (11 genes) like MYB77, BT2, auxin-responsive protein 1 (AUX1).
It contains 51 genes (the maximum number we observed is 153 genes) and has a rather high fitness potential of 0.63, although a bird's eye view on the entire network of its regulatory interactions reveals an astounding and unintelligible complexity that is similar in many ways to the organization of many real biological regulatory networks.
For example, the correspondence between genes called up in 2xX4x and 2xX6x was 46% of the possible maximum (the number of genes in the smaller set, in this case 2xX4x up), although one of these crosses produces viable seeds and the other is lethal; while the overlap between genes up in 2xX4x and 4xX2x seeds, which are both viable, was only 10% of the maximum.
The gene list for the custom RT2 Profiler PCR Array in this study was designed to overlap with the maximum possible number of genes for which MAQC data are available from the three quantitative platforms in the MAQC project (Table 1).
In order to focus only on BP terms which are not at a very high-level, a cutoff was applied on the maximum allowed number of genes annotated with a biological process genome-wide.
