For 87 Rab protein gene family members, we compared the numbers of introns in each class.
Anticipating that we would receive little sympathy if we were being paid substantially more than other BNL staff members, we compared our salaries to others at BNL using a comprehensive list of pay schedules for all employee categories, with the exception of postdocs.
To estimate the frequency of gene conversion in the Alu Ye subfamily members, we compared the sequences of the elements found in the human genome to the consensus sequences of other Alu subfamilies.
For the same region and ensemble member, we compared the job execution times on the HPC clusters in order to identify the influence of grid middleware, when using the same HPC cluster, and the architecture, when using different HPC clusters.
Then, for each shared member we compare its similarity to the clusters in which it belongs.
Cells in lens epithelial explants were transfected using different approaches to overexpress the different Spry (Spry1, Spry2) and Spred (Spred1, Spred2, Spred3) members, and we compared their ability to undergo FGF-induced fiber differentiation.
To eliminate the possibility that the tight correlation in cluster b was caused by low expression of its members, we further compared the expression correlations between the cluster b FBX genes and 28 non-plant internal controls (median microarray value ≤ median microarray value of cluster b FBX genes).
To investigate whether the effects of BI-2536 might be explained by the interaction of this compound with one or more BET family members, we initially compared its effects with those of JQ1, which is a potent inhibitor of the BET family [ 35].
Specifically, we compared members from transcription factors myb and NAC, the shikimate pathway, PAL, C4H and 4CL (main branch of the phenylpropanoid pathway), and gene families that are involved in the biosynthesis of various secondary compounds as well as lignin and lignans, respectively (Additional File 10).
To test whether group members stay within hearing distance, we compared instances when the same pair of bats had been localized within 15 seconds of each other twice at an interval of 90 to 180 seconds.
In the study, we compared the members of CCCH gene family in Populus and Arabidopsis and rice and found that 44 gene clusters were present.
