Thus finding these positively selected sites in close proximity to these glycosylation sites in guinea pig suggests that these sites have been selected to modify the Ph20 structure more effectively thus increasing the chance of capacitation.
Two villages were selected because of close proximity to the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), Muscat, Oman.
The targeted villages were also selected for their close proximity to the district hospital.
Indeed many of the sites identified in this study as positively selected are in close proximity to (or directly associated with) cancer.
The study sites were selected based on close proximity to Armauer Hansen Research Institute AHRII) laboratory, to avoid the risk of poor performance of laboratory procedures on the collected specimens due to handling delays, of which the different schools were selected randomly.
Face to face interviews were conducted with heads of 212 households in two villages in North Al-Batinah region of Oman selected because of close proximity to the Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), Muscat, Oman.
Following a randomization test for the positively selected sites and disease implicated sites (as denoted by Swiss-Prot entry PO2452), we have found that the pattern we observe, i.e. finding positively selected sites in close proximity to disease implicated sites is significant in 3 out of the 11 cases examined here (at P < 0.05).
However, according to our simulations using all genotyped SNPs on chromosome 22, L1 -penalized regression does select SNPs in close proximity to true nonzeros.
Many of these positively selected sites are in close proximity to natural cancer variants.
Asian destinations were selected due to their close proximity to Australia and the high proportion of air traffic flow between these regions.
Patients were enrolled at Beth Israel, St . Vincents, St. Vincent's affiliated Elizabeth St . Vincentearing Center, and New York University Downtown Hospitals, selected because of their close proximity to the WTC site.
