This seemingly contradictory result can be explained by the extremely high mortality rates seen in young African-Americans in the general population, particularly resulting from violent deaths (20).
It remains possible that a degree of reverse causality is present, whereby increased adiposity and adverse cardiometabolic risk profiles (particularly resulting from excess energy intake) contribute to reduced physical activity, possibly further increasing adiposity.
Recent functional genomics approaches, particularly resulting from the ENCODE initiative, have revealed that transcription is rather pervasive, that enhancer sequence can be very distant, at least in terms of primary sequence, from genes, and that active enhancers can be mapped based on specific histone code marks [ 50, 51].
Some analysts argue that oil prices are as high as they are today only because of fear of a major disruption, particularly one resulting from the tensions between the United States and Iran over the country's nuclear program.
Foliation, planar arrangement of structural or textural features in any rock type, but particularly that resulting from the alignment of constituent mineral grains of a metamorphic rock of the regional variety along straight or wavy planes.
Certain simple organosulfur compounds, such as thiols, are repugnant to humans and most higher animals even at extraordinarily low concentrations; they are used as defensive secretions by a variety of animal species and figure in unpleasant odours associated with polluted air and water, particularly that resulting from the use of sulfur-rich fossil fuels.
Bicycle injuries, particularly those resulting from single bicycle crashes, are underreported in both police and hospital records.
Additive manufacturing has been receiving attention as it is capable of producing complex geometries previously unmanufacturable, particularly those resulting from topology optimisation.
Thus, these three latter groups have genomes more tolerant of multicopy genes, particularly those resulting from transposases and other insertion sequences, which act to produce elevated levels of paralogous genes.
For example, MutS may play an error-prone role in repairing mismatches catalyzed by DinB, particularly mismatches resulting from bypass of oxidized lesions, and/or incorporation of oxidized precursors (such as 2-hydroxyadenine and 8-oxo-dG), due to an inability to discriminate between the lesion and the undamaged base, resulting in mutations.
The introduction on the market of novel foods, particularly foods resulting from modern biotechnology, e.g. genetically modified (GM) foods, has therefore raised the question of the assessment of the potential allergenicity of the newly expressed protein(s) and of the whole GM food.
