This work highlights the interconnections between biodiversity in soils and soil function, and the importance of expanding studies on soil invertebrates beyond the few candidate taxa already studied.
This is the basic principle behind the RTS,S vaccine, and while the clinical trial results have been somewhat disappointing, RTS,S is one of the few candidate vaccines to reach such an advanced stage.
Frost (Fst) is one of the few candidate genes that have been implicated in cold tolerance in D. melanogaster.
Recurrent chromosomal rearrangements in various tumors define Minimal Critical Regions (MCR) that are often small enough to pinpoint the few candidate genes in oncogenesis that lie in this chromosomal region.
Microarray analysis has proved to be a powerful technique for understanding the processes and genes involved in cryoprotective dehydration, beyond the few candidate genes identified in the current literature.
For the wAnaINF sample, genome-wide coverage was equal for most of the regions except for the few candidate regions with variation in the copy number (see Results section) so that CNVnator was appropriate to detect those copy number variations.
