Protein content was measured using a standard BCA Assay (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and lysates were treated according to manufacturer's instructions, with slight method alteration in the detergent removal step.
Although the main oscillatory behaviors are detectable using these methods, alterations in gene expression such as changes of amplitudes and phase-shifts were not observed, especially because the altered light conditions were applied only for a short period of time.

This method classifies alterations as 'drivers' and 'non-drivers' by assigning a cutoff that maximizes the number of known driver genes (genes in CGC) ranking higher than the cutoff).
Four independent control constructs were developed by this method through alteration of residues spanning individual CDR domains.
It is notable that the PINT database (Biggin et al., 2010) presents only four paleointensity studies (Juárez et al., 1998; Smirnov and Tarduno, 2003; Tauxe, 2006; Shcherbakova et al., 2007) satisfying modern standards (i.e., the use of the double-heating method with alteration checks) within the time interval 83 72 Ma.
A drawback of both methods is alteration or destruction of the specimen by the impinging electrons.
The second column lists methods of alteration monitoring ('Paleointensity metadata' section) and the third column lists other monitors or corrections that were incorporated into the paleointensity experiment, such as cooling rate and anisotropy corrections ('Paleointensity metadata' section).
Concomitantly, LSF detected waves of regional blood flow ('CBFIND', indicative of absolute values of cerebral blood flow: please see 'Materials and methods' section) alteration coupled to the depolarizations.
