The group followed most closely is known as the Whiskers family.
The BLAST annotation search therefore provides users with an alternative method to identify genes that may most closely resemble known sequences from organisms other than D. melanogaster, or that may have been lost in the lineage leading to D. melanogaster.
In this tree, we can therefore recognize a class of diatom Ty1/copia-like elements most closely related to known elements from the Copia lineage as well as two diatom-specific lineages, CoDiI and CoDiII.
The people close to him note that most people following the situation closely knew that he had misgivings about the war.
Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene based clone library revealed that 80% of the NA-enriched culture belonged to the γ-Proteobacteria class and was largely dominated by phylotypes most closely related to known NA and hydrocarbon degraders such as Pseudomonas and Microbulbifer.
The hydrophobic surface most closely matched the known salivary mucosal pellicle by containing mucins, cystatin and statherin but an absence of amylase and proline-rich proteins.
We then found the slope (m) of the line that most closely matched the known, simulated slope was calculated as the median ratio of test to control counts, a metric which has been used previously [ 38] (Additional File 1, Figure S10 and Supplemental Methods 8).
Their phylogenetic relatedness was as close as that of SARS-CoV and the most closely related bat coronavirus known, Rs672 from a Rhinolophus sinicus bat.
In the past, the C.I.A. could inform only the so-called Gang of Eight — the top Democrats and Republicans in the Senate and the House and the two committees — of its most closely guarded intelligence activities, known as covert actions.
In addition, at the time of discovery, WASP-43b was the most closely orbiting Hot Jupiter known, a phenomenon that can most likely be explained by its host star's low mass.
