Thus, adult sex ratio seems to influence mating propensity differently in the two ecotypes: only isopods belonging to the stonewort ecotype showed any evidence of mating plasticity (Fig. 3).
In this study, therefore, we compared changes in cognitive function, state anxiety, and objectively measured sleep propensity in the daytime after two consecutive night shifts and after four consecutive night shifts.
That is, there might be substantial overlap of the propensity score distributions in the two groups, but potentially density differences.
We also found a significant difference in the propensity of the two strains to form a biofilm in vitro.
We therefore used simulations to explore various models, varying two parameters: the fraction of amplicons over the genome displaying differences in methylation propensity between the two alleles and the extent of difference in allelic methylation propensity (for those amplicons within the fraction defined in the first parameter).
Simulations that best approximated the observed data specified that ~10% of common SNPs were linked (or directly involved), with a difference in methylation propensity between the two alleles.
Moreover, the decay demonstrates that the fraction of amplicons with an absolute or near-absolute difference in methylation propensity between the two alleles was small.
The authors postulated that differential phosphorylation may underlie difference in self-association propensity for the two proteins, and differential methylation profiles could explain the increased hydrophobicity of eEF1A1 [ 26].
Since similar concentrations of Aβ40 and Aβ42 oligomers induce similar degrees of [Ca 2+]c transients and ROS production, it appears that the main difference in the context of cytotoxicity between preparations of Aβ40 and Aβ42 containing the same total peptide concentration is in the oligomerization propensity of the two peptides to form oligomeric species.
However, it is noteworthy that the difference in propensity among the four nucleotides in different organisms is less than that of 20 amino acid residues.
