Text mining serves to "identify patterns from a collection of texts" [74].
Excluding autonomous selfers (which probably have putatively relaxed selective pressures on floral traits, see discussion) from this analysis only serves to reinforce the pattern of the slope being less than one (mean β = 0.6581 ± 0.1880 (SD), t9 = 11.0670, p < 0.00001).
The phylogenetic classification of single-domain TFPs presented here serves to illuminate the patterns of relatedness among currently known single-domain TFP families and should provide a general basis for a more systematic categorization of novel TFP members.
The consideration of both n1/n2 and n1*/n2* ratios to evaluate statistical significance (see below) thus serves to de-correlate patterns of statistical significance and to reduce the chance that some populations will spuriously emerge as significant because their signature transcripts overlap with those of another high-scoring population.
The "oxidative damage model" argues that this pattern serves to minimize oxidative damage to the tissues.
Our investigation of Candiacervus and of relevant mainland cervids, focusing on bone microstructure in growth series of various long bones, and dental histology in old adults, serves to examine whether the pattern of growth of Myotragus is general among island artiodactyls.
Courtship, often involving highly intricate behaviour patterns, serves to release the gametes of both mating individuals simultaneously.
Understanding these patterns serves to inform how policies, programs, and practices can be aligned to promote better health among the disadvantaged.
By eliminating expression in non-targeted tissues, the silencer element serves to produce the desired expression pattern; e.g., a cell-specific expression domain that might not otherwise be attainable.
Posttranslational enzymatic modifications, such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination (which have been studied most extensively), work together to produce a combinatorial "histone code" that serves to regulate cell-lineage– specific patterns of chromatin structure throughout development (Fisher and Fisher 2011).
