Even so, one generation of divergent selection based on challenge test data has been shown to result in significantly higher average rates of survival (73.3 ± 3.3% versus 16.7 ± 3.3%), blood phagocyte respiratory burst activity, serum myeloperoxidase activity and ceruloplasmin level in resistant compared to susceptible line rohu [ 5].
Such potential differences in the nephron number at the time of a preserved renal function may represent differences in the functional reserve of the kidneys and are currently recognized to be one cause of divergent renal outcomes between individuals with similar clinical background characteristics at the diagnosis of renal disease [ 8– 10].
At this point, the process of GAG synthesis follows one of two divergent paths, depending on whether the addition of a GlcNAc or GalNAc residue takes place, which leads to the synthesis of HS or CS/DS respectively.
Moreover, the majority (8/11, 73%) of the CNEs associated with the divergent genes show consistent changes in enhancer activity for at least one of the divergent anatomical terms (Table 1).
For example, we have recently discovered that loss of function of one of the divergent IDD genes, AtIDD15, has an effect on lateral shoot branching in Arabidopsis (H. Tanimoto, R. Tremblay, S. Chatfield and J. Colasanti, unpublished).
One of them, Divergent, with its action storyline unfolding in a Hunger Games-like future dystopia, looked a sure bet.
The single case that did not agree was in one of the divergent regions.
Phylogenetic analysis revealed that both epialleles clustered in one of two divergent subclades in the IAPLTR1_Mm family.
Apart from that, only one of the divergent Ir genes (Ir116a) was significantly up-regulated in the female terminal abdomen.
In turn, the cellulases each have a complementary and specific dockerin-module, which binds selectively to one of the divergent cohesins [ 31- 33].
