The items of the ChQOL in the original Chinese and tentative English translation were listed in Appendix 1 (Additional file 1).
A tentative re-translation of his response would read as follows: "Well, one always has ups and downs mentally/emotionally but I'm very much looking forwards/positively and working hard".
Particularly, while the available genome-scale analyses done for several plant species demonstrate that codon bias in plants is adaptive [ 11, 12], heterologous gene expression studies in plants led to a tentative conclusion that translation efficiency of the foreign genes is often considered secondary to mRNA processing and stability as a determinant for expressivity [ 13].
Each component of the team was provided with the two translations and with the provisional "tentative" English version published by the original Chinese authors.
Where the original Italian is forceful, if at times overheated, Virginia Jewiss's translation is tentative and overly literal.
To our knowledge, no published translation is available in any Occidental language, except for a provisional "tentative" English translation reported in [ 2].
Our data confirm the tentative annotation of Drosophila smORFs and expand our understanding of smORF translation.
In addition, we could determine a tentative enzymatic function using KEGG search for a substantial number of virtual translations totalizing 327 EC numbers assigned to 1281 contigs.
Since different types of information carry different weight with decision-makers, and the translation of information into action is neither seamless nor direct, these assumptions are highly tentative.
In addition, tentative contig (TC) sequences from M. truncatula, L. japonicus and G. max, and six-frame translations of developing white lupin root unigenes from the EST analysis were added to the custom legume database.
