They rather seem to largely reflect the presence of different residual heterozygous regions peculiar to the single BC1-S1 individuals from which the progenitors of the contrasting NILs in each pair were selected, although other random effects that possibly occurred throughout the inbreeding and selection scheme adopted for the QTL introgression cannot be excluded.
And some of the region's peculiar traditions make it hard to do without foreign labour.
Nonkeratinizing NPC is a unique epithelial carcinoma in the head and neck region with peculiar histological and molecular characteristics, including intensive infiltration of lymphocytes, undifferentiated or poorly differentiated appearance, absence of p53 mutations, and consistent association with EBV infection.
These animals are especially interesting because of their characteristic body forms, generally large size, disjunct distribution over Earth's tropical regions, and peculiar mode of life.
Our recent 3D-model of human SIRT1 [ 21] showed two very long flexible terminal segments with diffuse lack of structural organization and few transient helices, and hence, the presence of disordered regions, a peculiar structural feature, already known in other proteins, but unexpected in Sirtuins.
The peculiar region is the Northwest Atlantic near Newfoundland Rise, where abrupt environmental contrasts (the cold Labrador Current flowing from the north and the warm Gulf Stream from the southwest) result in different types of seasonal cycles over rather narrow area.
The Yq11.1/Yq11.21 transition region harbours a peculiar segment composed of an imperfectly organized tandem-repeat structure encoding four members of the double homeobox (DUX) gene family.
This region contains a peculiar ORF (open reading frame -like sequence segment oframe -likemprisequencecodonsegmentding the starting cofon (GTG for Val) and termination codon TAA.
Both the number of nonsynonymous substitutions and the degree of functional constraint are not significantly different between Hox and non- Hox genes, and this remains true even when the most peculiar regions (the homeobox and the repetitive regions) are excluded (Table 1).
To have the air-conditioner blowing full blast on one's nether regions is a peculiar sensation, to say the least.
