Biomolecules Topic summary Functional groupsare specific groups of atoms that confer reactivity to biomolecules, typically extending from a carbon backbone. Key functional groups include the methyl group (–CH3), hydroxyl group (–OH), carbonyl gr...
(and/or IFN-β) at some point comes from the detection of an IFN signature in peripheral blood. Finally, regardless of the actual identities of the differentially represented genes, so long as there are consistent differences between the groups being compared (e.g., pauciarticular versus poly...
Mice were housed four per cage in sibling groups and sacrificed 12 weeks post surgery. Left and right hindlimbs from half of the experimental cohort (16 mice; 2 mice/cage) were phenotyped by rapid-throughput OBCD joint phenotyping. The limbs of the other half of the surgical cohort (2 ...
we assessed changes in degree centrality at different steps for each group. We specifically tracked hub regions with high degrees, where the normalized degree was higher than 1.5 times the mean degree centrality35. Although both groups showed high degree centrality values in the...
In other words, a functional polymer is a polymer that exhibits one or more specific chemical groups or has some physical, biological, pharmacological or other application.

The method proposed provides a new definition of distance that enables the similarity between GO terms to be quantified. Additionally, the 'Functional Tree' defines groups with biological meaning enhancing its utility for protein function comparison and prediction. Finally, this approach could be for ...
Many strains of LAB are among the most important groups of microorganisms used in the food and feed industries, although some of the genus Pediococcus cause deterioration of foods, which results in their spoilage [4]. LAB have been used in food preservation and for the modification of the orga...
We also asked more generally whether groups of co-expressed transcripts were associated with specific GO-BP categories. Figure 4c shows that this is indeed the case: any given 'cluster' of genes with correlated expression levels is more likely than not to be associated with a local enrichment ...
to apply statistical approaches as lineages-through-time plots a complete tree comprising all known species is necessary. More complete taxon sampling will be necessary to provide a robust estimate of relative rates of cladogenesis in different groups, permitting a statistical test of the key characte...
There were two assumptions for this approach: (1) We assumed that individual cortical parcels were close to the group definition after the feature-based surface registration; (2) We assumed that every identified cortical parcel should be in a single class which was the combination of the target...
