However, the predominance of function annotations relating to 'quantity', particularly of neurons and of other structures of the nervous system, was notable (Table 3; Fig. S2; Dataset S3).
The predominance of functional divergence effects on most of ecosystem processes sheds light on the need to preserve specialist species sensu Elton (i.e. those that have a particular combination of traits and perform particular functions in the system).
By mapping these genes on KEGG pathways, the predominance of actin cytoskeleton functions, proteasomes, and cell cycle arrest in induced resistance emerged.
The traditional study of natural transcriptional networks primarily provides insight into the later, more refined stages of evolution, whereas synthetic promoter shuffling may provide greater insight into the early stages of promoter evolution, where the predominance of only a few control functions, such as NOR and ANDN, could be very important.
All the meta-analysis combinations highlighted a predominance of gene pathways and biological functions related to immune response and to lipid metabolism.
The difference in these results can be explained by the fact that the predominance and/or function of integrin signaling changes as acinar morphogenesis occurs, notably β4-integrin signaling becomes critical to maintain epithelial homeostasis in acini [ 18].
Although the majority of equine muscles have a mixed fibre type distribution indicative of diverse functional roles, the predominance of a fibre type can indicate the primary function of a muscle.
Capillary electrophoresis analysis revealed the predominance of different oxidation products as a function of the applied potential.
Poor seizure outcome correlated strongly with: (a) an early appearance of dysphagia and additional deterioration of the already retarded mental function; (b) a predominance of atypical absence seizures; and (c) persistent frequent epileptiform discharges during electroencephalographic evaluations.
Gene profiling of livers from TRβ knockout mice identified more than 200 differentially regulated genes, most down-regulated but others up-regulated, revealing a clear predominance of TRβ over TRα in liver function [5], [12].
