Recent evidence indicates that there are numerous phenotypes of preeclampsia, indicating that a number of pathophysiologic mechanisms related to the mother and fetus may contribute to the timing of disease onset [ 2].
Hymenoptera is an extraordinarily diverse lineage of insects, both in terms of species numbers and phenotypes, that includes sawflies ("Symphyta"), bees (Anthophila), wasps (numerous lineages), and ants (Formicidae).
Biofilm development is a multistep process, in which component cells acquire phenotypes that are distinct from their planktonic (or free-floating) counterparts, and is considered critical for numerous bacterial infections [1].
First, numerous mutational screens for developmental defect mutant embryos have been performed, and many of these brought to light phenotypes that resemble disease symptoms or affected genes that were already known to play a role in certain pathological conditions.
Recent work demonstrates that there are numerous mutations that affect phenotypes of waving but not skewing, and vice versa [8 and supplimetal data therein] and a number of these mutants have additional phenotypes that also match the orbital phenotype we observed in this study, like reduced root elongation [ 32, 53].
The link between ppk1 deletion and those numerous phenotypes observed can be the result of complex molecular interactions that can be elucidated via a systems biology approach.
This microarray platform expansion has hindered the direct comparison between numerous datasets of a given phenotype that have been produced using several generations of arrays.
Macrophages are capable of assuming numerous phenotypes in order to adapt to endogenous and exogenous challenges but many of the factors that regulate this process are still unknown.
While numerous phenotyping and genotyping techniques that discriminate among isolates for short-term epidemiology have been developed, generating data that are comparable among different laboratories and that accurately identify relationships among isolates from diverse sources has proven more challenging.
Heterozygous Del36H mice show numerous phenotypes and may model aspects of human genetic disease.
