Having largely disinherited his four children ("I don't want my good fortune to influence their lives"), in 1989 Mr. McDonald put his wealth into the McDonald Agape Foundation, a family-run philanthropy whose statement of purpose reads, in part: "We work only with a small, selected group of distinguished universities and within them their most influential faculty members.
Dynamic data is collected through a third party process in near real-time from an event for a specific purpose (read into that VERY expensive).
Given the news, it was kind of funny to read Yahoo's declaration of its "mobile first" ambitions, but what the company means is that it's going to spend time on its more innovative and popular apps, and less on these general purpose (read: boring) creations.
"The F-35 is a weapon of offensive war, serving no defensive purpose," reads the petition now in circulation, initiated by a dozen organizations.
As our purpose reads, the CSD is established to, "improve the appearance of the Foothill Boulevard commercial corridor through the thoughtful design of pedestrian-friendly structures integrated with extensive landscaping". We firmly believe that good design is good business.
For this purpose, reads were clustered into unique regions of alignment and the regions were ranked by abundance (number of reads found per region).
Owing to the size of the spruce genome, the fragmented nature of the assembly stages, and the size of the resulting fasta files (∼40 GB), we note that general purpose read alignment tools were not suitable for the task.
For this purpose, reads were trimmed to fit exponential size distributions spanning 30-50 bp, 50-70 bp or 70-90 bp in length, with average lengths of 40 bp, 60 bp or 80 bp, respectively.
For visualization purposes, read counts were combined from two replicates of each sample and normalized to reads per million mapped reads (RPM).
For the purpose of primer design, reads containing SSR motifs were identified as follows.
