The experimental purposes were to confirm the effectiveness of the functionally abstracted information visualized with emergent features or peculiar geometric forms and to examine the additional effects of the visualization on task performance.
Such electrode grids provide the rare yet dual opportunities, in the same participants, to evaluate the contribution of the cortical area immediately below each electrode site to the cognitive task of interest and to confirm the necessity of the functionally identified regions through direct stimulation, leading to transient disruption of processing at the cortical site.
The next steps will involve both wider sampling of plants and populations to confirm the presence of three loci, and functionally verifying their genetic interactions.
These findings motivate additional research to confirm and functionally characterize our set of candidate genes.
However, the latter putative splice variation was inherited from the patient's healthy father, and no fresh sample or tissue was available to functionally confirm the potentially aberrant splicing.
It seems necessary to carry out further work to confirm that the PC3-derived osteopontin is functionally comparable to that produced by other, instigating, cell lines.
To confirm that AtHscA1 can functionally complement HscA/Ssq1, the Ssq1 knockout mutant Δssq1 [48] was transformed with pGADT7-AtHscA1 and both strains placed on YPD medium and on YPD containing 4 mM H2O2 and incubated at 34°C for 4 days (Figure 4A).
It is hence advisable to compare the function of tagged and untagged proteins in suitable assays to confirm that they are functionally equivalent, before moving onto ChIP experiments.
To also functionally confirm the difference in microtubule stability, metaphase cells were treated for 10 min with 0.5 mM Ca2+, a condition that gradually destabilizes microtubules, before fixing them with glutaraldehyde and staining for kinetochores and microtubules.
To confirm this binding was functionally capable of decreasing MST4 protein expression, western blot analyses were performed.
