Slight and intermediate size inversions are common features of the non-coding cpDNA [ 46] and are detectable only through sequencing and demonstrating intra-specific variability [ 47, 48].
39 A reliable grading system quantified the abnormalities, which were present in all the hip/groin pain subjects (9/20 slight, 9/20 intermediate, 2/20 advanced).
This categorization was based on the comparison between GI50 values of the tested strains, WT and the three control strains used as standards to indicate the thresholds for slight (rad14Δ), intermediate (rev1Δ) and severe (mag1Δ) sensitivity.
The extent of pollution was according to the following criteria: PI < 1.5, zero pollution, 1.5 2.0, slight pollution; 2.0 3.5, intermediate pollution; and > 3.5, heavy pollution (Kong et al. 1998).
We propose a conceptual model that explains the findings by an interplay of various factors acting at different levels: (i) The largest species pool is expected for habitats under conditions that prevailed over the last few million years, with a slight shift towards intermediate positions, i.e. for the Palaearctic in open, semi-dry, base-rich situations.
The only other recognizable difference in the expression profiles was a slight „compression" of intermediate expression at 250 ng/ml Dox, as the cell-to-cell variability in transgene expression was apparently reduced after prolonged growth under these conditions.
For the Belg season, the trend of allelic richness resulted in a slight increase at intermediate altitudes (B1 < B2: P = 0.046) and a decrease at high altitudes (B2 > B3, P = 0.018).
The droplet size distribution was slightly bimodal in nature, with peaks at the small and large droplet sizes and a slight trough in the intermediate size range.
Rescue by hemizygous BBL-1 and BBL-2 is intermediate and slight, respectively (Figure 2A; Table 2).
0, None; 0+, very slight; + slight; ++, intermediate; +++, severe.
In the current study we defined the thresholds of severe, intermediate and slight sensitivity based on the scores of the three control strains mag1Δ, rev1Δ and rad14Δ, respectively.
