Ortholog clusters with a phylogenetic distribution limited to the genus Eimeria were enriched for traits characteristic of surface proteins, namely sequences with secretion signal (SignalP) likely to be exported by the secretory pathway.
The unique structural traits of cell surface PGs enable them to modulate directly and/or indirectly several facets of the tumour cell phenotype and behavior, including growth kinetics, invasiveness and metastatic ability.
The ordinal scoring system provides a numerical value that reflects the presence and severity of three traits of bone degeneration: surface topography, porosity, and osteophyte formation: Surface topography refers to the general texture and relief of the joint surface.
The two young men had little in common, but they did not realize it, for they shared a number of surface traits.
Among them, S. salivarius and S. sanguinis exhibited the lowest capacity to form biofilm. Two aspects of biofilm forming ability must be pointed out: the specific traits of each species and surface topographies.
The ability to type molecular traits of pathogens, such as surface proteins or highly variable DNA segments, allowed the characterization of sufficient strain-to-strain variation to determine when transmission of disease occurred [ 2] as well as surveillance of the frequencies of different strain types over time [ 3].
Our model can be applied to other molecular traits (e.g., metabolites or protein concentrations), high-dimensional morphological traits (e.g., outlines of surfaces from geometric morphometrics), or gene environment interactions (e.g., the same trait observed in multiple environments).
Data was collected for the following traits: Leaf Surface Temperature, Number of Days to Flowering, Plant Height (in cm), Grain Yield, Spikelet Sterility, the Weight of 100 Grains, the Number of Tillers and the Number of Panicles.
Although similar in some phenotypic traits such as response to therapies and expression of surface glycoprotein variants, the genomes of each species are likely to have unique characteristics.
Genetic variation is investigated by haplotype identity using DNA sequences from both mycobionts and photobionts, this data will be correlated with measurements of morphological traits such as surface area and thallus thickness, and also related to CO2-exchange data.
