Preliminary function verification indicated that NgAgo/EGFP-gDNA obviously inhibited EGFP expression.
In order to assign a preliminary function to each transcript, the TCs and singletons were compared using BLASTX to the UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot database.
In this study, we reported a member of the NAC transcription factor family named OsNAP whose expression is associated with leaf senescence, and investigated its preliminary function during the process of leaf senescence.
The failure of the State Department to send the necessary special ambassadorial credentials embarrassed the preliminary functions and necessitated the acceptance by the Wai-Wu-Pu of a cable message from President Taft and Mr. Knox, Secretary of State.
The objective was to explore the preliminary functioning of a self-report questionnaire designed to assess parental reflective functioning (PRFQ, Luyten et al., 2009, unpublished manual) during early postnatal phase and with a large population-based sample.
A preliminary functioning version was then developed and made available to users for home use.
IL-9 production was first associated with the Th2 phenotype, and many of the preliminary functions of IL-9 were tested in models of Th2-associated immunity.
Preliminary metabolite function was assigned using the Human Metabolome Database [29].
After the identification of a model of preliminary transfer function, as shown in Equation (24), it is necessary to estimate the general parameters δ = (δ1, …, δ r )', w = (w0, w1, …, wLs)', ϕ = (ϕ1, …, ϕ p )', θ = (θ1, …, θLq)', and σ a 2. In general, such estimates are carried out interactively with the help of computer programmes.
As a preliminary screening function, the BLAST alignment was checked for percent coverage of the length of the amino acid query sequence.
To validate the use of the SuperSAGE approach for the identification of candidate regulatory components of the interaction between N. attenuata and M. sexta larvae, six genes were selected for preliminary gene function characterization by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS).
