These were meta-community spread, meta-community species abundance, growth form, regeneration mode and dispersal distance.
Awe.sm then tracks these links, analyzing how they're spread and storing meta data on each.
A graphical overview of the late blight and maturity meta-QTLs is presented on Figure 3. Late blight meta-QTLs spread on the 12 chromosomes, with one to three meta-QTLs per chromosome.
The number of plots in which each species occurred (meta-community spread) and the total number of individuals per species (meta-community species abundance), however, showed strong and highly significant positive relationships between the two sampling periods (Figs 4b and 4c).
Maturity meta-QTLs spread on only six chromosomes, with one or two meta-QTLs per chromosome.
Meta-community spread was quantified for each species as the number of sites it occupied in 1966.
This analysis revealed that meta-community spread (number of plots in which each species occurred in 1966) was the variable with the strongest relative weight of evidence to explain local patterns of extinctions, followed by dispersal distance and regeneration strategy (Fig. 5a).
Third, Zhang et al. (2010b) note a high monosomy 7 incidence in the controls and indicate that this could be due to artifactual chromosome loss during meta-phase spread preparation; therefore, there is inherent bias in the sampling technique that could bias the results.
Applications that motivate her research are statistical physics of equilibrium: phase diagrams and phase transitions; the statistical physics of non-equilibrium: meta-stability; the spread of epidemics over networks for moving populations; random walks in random environments; cut-off phenomena and random graphs.
Therefore, some genes would seem to be more widely spread in the sampled Campylobacter phage meta-genome than others.
In addition, myeloid progenitor cells were cultured from 10 exposed and 12 unexposed workers to quantify chromosome changes, including monosomy 7 and trisomy 8, in meta-phase spreads of these cells.
