Parallel changes, reversals, and convergence are likely minor contributing factors to the observed homoplasy due to the shallow phylogenetic depth of this study involving moderate levels of evolutionary time; these factors were further minimized by locus selection criteria.
The depth of our study is based solely on the mere number of articles located.
Indeed, recently prepared SAGE libraries are currently being sequenced at ~25× the depth of those in this study (millions of tags rather than hundreds of thousands; [ 55]; libraries of four million tags are now standard (DGM, unpublished results).
Future improvement of the proteomics-based technologies should also increase the depth of comparative studies of transcripts and proteins profiles.
Although the depth of the reflector in this study is 5 10 km shallower than the slab depth proposed by passive-source seismic data (e.g., Nakajima et al. 2009), the geometry (gently dipping northwestward) is consistent.
Different from Taisne et al. (2011), the depth of tremor locations in this study increased steadily, starting at around 120 s (11 47), until the time of the eruption at 420 s (11 52).
The depth of sequencing chosen for this study was based on previous experience sequencing non-normalized cDNA libraries [ 38].
The measured abundance range of the proteins subjected to ELISA is indicative of the depth of proteomic analysis in this study, which was achieved through extensive fractionation of intact proteins and reliance on high-resolution MS, spanning seven logs of protein abundance.
Indeed, the depth of analysis into HIKM separates this study from many previous studies of centromere components that often leave a confusing picture of the centromere.
The results of the case description are presented in Tables 2 and 3, the themes that form the in-depth analysis of this study, are presented in the Results section.
