Indeed, the standard slippage model (Levinson and Gutman 1987) requires a single base misalignment for slippage to occur, that is, misalignment of a full repeat is not necessary.
As some of these duplications have also been detected at sites with no pre-existing repeats, they constitute a new class of mutations that are not encapsulated by the standard slippage model (Levinson and Gutman 1987).
In the standard DNA slippage model, the slippage probability should be multiplied by the number of sites where slippage can occur (i.e., STR length) leading to a linear relationship between mutation rate and STR length.
Over at talkinbroadway.com's ever-lively chat room, an instant debate flared about the slippage in standards that would give this show the kudos.
There has been a "catastrophic slippage" in standards of science taught in schools, leaving children with a superficial understanding of chemistry, biology and physics, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry.
When a writer of Beagle's standing brings out a new book the reviewer's job, after checking to ensure that there has been no slippage in standards, is simply to say: "Here it is.
The real point of Livingstone's comparison, of course, is not historical accuracy about the past; it's embellishing that past in order to imply a slippage of standards on 'our' side, as compared with 1939-45.
The parent company, Emhart, said in a statement that it accepted "full responsibility for the delays in getting the plant into compliance, even though a series of events beyond its control were largely responsible for the slippage". The standards it violated, part of the Clean Water Act, took effect in 1984 and 1985, according to Mr. Deland.
The managers might see it as slippage in the standard, but referees might view it as not explicitly violating the rules.
I now note the slippage of my social standards; events seemingly acceptable at the time now appear abhorrent.
But the U.K. is, after all, a bigger, more powerful country than Norway and so could get away with more slippage from those E.U. standards, which the E.U. would have difficulty punishing.
