A total of 12 different SNPs (four to five SNPs per isolate) are sufficient to identify these isolates or to relate a new isolate to the characterized ones.
Thereby, functions of uncharacterized genes can be predicted by their phylogenetic position relative to the characterized ones, and by analyzing the rates and patterns of gene evolution (reviews: [ 14, 17, 18].
However, the distribution of SSRs within non-coding and coding regions of the genomes, even in the best characterized ones such that of human, remains unclear.
The histone chaperone activities that occur during transcription elongation have been attributed to several distinct factors, with the Spt6 and FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transactions) histone chaperones being among the better characterized ones.
We obtained 82 novel STs in addition to the 155 previously characterized ones [4] [6] (see Table S1 for a more detailed description of novel isolates).
The most well characterized ones include C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, surfactant protein-D, IL-6, TNF-α, and CXCL8 [ 14– 17].
Of the ruminant alpha-herpesviruses, Bovine Herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) is the best characterized one and responsible for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR).
Using specific receptors, phagocytes recognize and bind specific "eat-me" signals appearing on apoptotic cell surfaces, among which externalized PS is the best characterized one.
The N- and C-terminal domains contribute to the structural heterogeneity and are major sites of posttranslational modifications with phosphorylation being the best characterized one (Omary et al. 1998; 2006).
Here we have conducted a targeted search for putative bidirectional promoters involved in seed development using limited examples from the literature and characterized one of the promoters and associated gene pairs in detail, including preliminary functional analyses.
These family detention facilities replicate the denial of privacy and the infliction of trauma that characterized one of the most shameful episodes in US history.
