We then calculated five resilience indices for our urban park and for a preserved continuous forest (reference area): the average richness of functions, diversity of functions, evenness of functions, and redundancy of functions within- and cross-scale.
In spite of strong sequence similarity and assumed functional redundancy, the function of Id3 in promoting a cancer phenotype now appears to be distinct from Id1.
Wnt ligands, Wnt antagonists and β-catenin modulators are expressed in overlapping patterns throughout the developing central nervous system (37, 38), demonstrating the redundancy of function for some as well as specific function for other Wnt signaling components.
However, the over-representation of certain functional categories could also be due to redundancy in function that might alleviate the effect of gene disruption.
A full range of paralogues are present to provide redundancy of function on the one hand while, on the other, distinct strategies for survival.
The redesign brought into sharp relief the ways in which the changing role of the operator and the primary task of learning, leads us to reconsider such basic STS concepts as "autonomy", "variance control", and the redundancy of function.
Mice with a deletion of H1° have been generated by gene targeting in ES cells, but these mice show no phenotypic consequences, perhaps due to redundancy of function [3].
Nevertheless, we provide genetic evidence for redundancy of function between methyl-CpG binding proteins in postnatal mice.
The role of floral development genes is conserved in angiosperms, although increasing evidence suggests that differences in regulation, redundancy and function of these genes exist between species [9].
