The results of the comparisons between the obtained numbers of edges are summarized in figure 6.
For clustering of the different replicons (Figure 3; Figure S3), we normalized the obtained numbers of orthologs shared between two replicons according to the actual size of the replicon, i.e., the distance scores used in hierarchical clustering were calculated as [1 – number of orthologs/size of the smallest genome] [217].
Samples of the following species were obtained (numbers of individuals [nests] in parentheses): S. altipunctata (1), S. amblychila (1), S. aurea (1), S. daguerrei (2), S. electra (1), S. interrupta (4), S. macdonaghi (4), S. megergates (6), S. pusillignis (3), S. quinquecuspis (6), S. richteri (8), S. saevissima (9), S. xyloni (1), and the undescribed S. species "X" (2).
For Mtwara Rural district, with no baseline data, we obtained numbers of households in each village, which serves as a proxy for population.
We obtained numbers of deaths among urban residents in Xi'an for each day for 1 January 2004 through 31 December 2008 from the Shanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention SPCDCPP).
Although we targeted an unusually high coverage and obtained numbers of reads much higher than Galan et al.'s recommendations, one 'putative allele' was still likely to be involved in allelic dropout.
The evaluation of the system's interaction capacity with the computer game was based on three metrics: score obtained, number of successful interactions, and number of errors committed.
where n is the obtained number of contour points, SCB(n) refers to the number of contour points on the correct boundary.
The obtained number of reads per contig is a measure of the expression level of the corresponding gene.
For each visit the following information was obtained: number of escorts, number of meals away from home, mode of transport and accommodation and their costs.
To assess the significance of the obtained number of associations the procedure was repeated after randomly reassigning biological processes to genes.
