Restriction of genome comparison to ortholog groupings reduced dimension of this meta-scale analysis.
In essence, the focus on orthology enabled genome comparison at a meta-scale, and enabled us to integrate discrete pieces of data in the literature into a system wide portrait.
In a meta-scale analysis of published intraspecific QTL studies, Gardner and Latta (2007) found that approximately one quarter of correlated trait pairs appeared to involve at least one QTL that mapped to the same position.
The battery comprised the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS), Davis Interpersonal Reactivity Indexx (IRI), the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-32), the Revised Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Openness to Feelings facet of the NEO PI-R.
These include: scaling up nodes to run tools with large memory requirements (META-pipe), scale out for parallel execution (all reviewed pipelines), use of optimized data structures and storage systems to improve I/O performance (GATK 4.0, ADAM, GESALL), and the choice of machine flavor to optimize either the execution or cost (GATK, ADAM, GESALL).
Corresponding data for 1996 were 37, indicating remarkable constancy at the meta-community scale.
At the meta-community scale, diversity is exceptionally high, especially of range-restricted rare species, many of which occur in small and isolated populations [15].
The spread and abundance of individual species, and the patterns of alpha and beta diversity showed remarkable temporal constancy at the meta-community scale.
We found that species presence and abundance were stable at the meta-community scale over the 30 year period but highly unstable at the local scale, and were not influenced by species' biological attributes.
We conclude that stochastic environmental fluctuations associated with recurrent fire buffer populations from extinction, thereby ensuring stable coexistence at the meta-community scale by creating a "neutral-like" pattern maintained by niche-differentiation.
