(A) Tumor size variations in individual nude mice engrafted with the MDA-MB-468 cell line after treatment.
Genome size variations in the Oryza genus were found to be mainly caused by lineage-specific amplifications of LTR retrotransposons [74, 6].
Samples with no allelic size variations in any of the microsatellites were classified as microsatellite stable.
We thought that the size variation of SSRs in seven different accessions could provide some insights in terms of the occurrence of size variations in nature.
Tumors with allelic size variations in <2 of the microsatellites were classified as MSI-low, whereas those with allelic size variations in ≥2 of the microsatellite markers were considered MSI-high.
Later, solid-stained chromosomes were used to detect secondary constrictions, satellite-regions and size variations in heterochromatic regions [ 42].
At each locus, alleles or fragments were assigned into 'size bins', ensuring that minor size variations in PCR fragment analysis were given the same allele number [ 14].
An alternative approach for assessing grain-size variations in the mantle is to couple numerical models with experimentally derived flow laws and grain-size evolution models.
Repetitive elements are primary components of the genomic sequence and the most important factors in genome size variations in higher eukaryotes.
Consistent with the known intraspecific size variations in rps3/VAR1 [ 19], most of the coding sequence polymorphism occurred in this gene (161 polymorphic sites).
No size variations in the repeated motifs in any of the seven VNTR loci were detected between isolates H82/95 and H90/95.
