And Iraq is only the most lurid in a sequence of isolationist initiatives -- the abrupt rejection of the Kyoto Protocol, the imposition of protective tariffs, the hostility to any international court of justice, and above all, the disrespect this administration has shown to the United Nations.
The upshot was a mind-numbing sequence of summits, statements, communiqués, initiatives and letters of intent, stretching from St Malo to Washington to Helsinki, the overall gist of which was that Britain would henceforth work harder inside the EU to arm it with a common foreign and security policy and an "autonomous" defence capability, albeit still within NATO.
The availability of the complete genome sequence of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis Genome Initiative 2000) and rice (International Rice Genome Sequencing Project 2005) and their synteny with other plants have facilitated the research to improve agronomically important crops.
Because of the useful information these data bring to the genomics of Solanaceae plants, the availability of EST collections has dramatically increased in size, partly thanks to the start-up of sequencing initiatives [ 6]. EST collections are certainly no substitute for a whole genome scaffold.
The availability of the genome sequence of Arabidopsis (The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, 2000) and the concomitant accumulation in available transcriptional profile data (TAIR) make Arabidopsis a preferable model plant for large scale genetic studies of pollen development.
With the whole genome sequencing initiatives of various eukaryotic organisms, large amount of genomic sequence data has accumulated over the last few years.
The opening sequence of 'BioShock.'.
The legendary opening sequence of Easy Rider.
Mr. Hague's arrival as a credible Conservative leader follows a sequence of failed "relaunches," fresh starts and new initiatives.
There are a host of initiatives.
