I always do this regardless of whether I’ve copied down a quote from a book or just a note or observation. Here’s why I diligently complete this step: if I ever need the information again, I’ll know where to find it. At this point, you’re not doing any kind of memorizing ...
It is intriguing that the size of the functional genome (as measured by the amount of constrained sequence or the number of coding genes) varies rather little between organisms with apparently very different complexities. To make the question more concrete, we can focus on gene expression. An ...
We tested whether the contact threshold value (Supplementary Table9) for defining a chaperone bound state alters our conclusions. To do this we calculate isochorismate synthase’s KDwith GroEL as this threshold is varied. We find that our conclusions are unchanged (Supplementary Fig.4). We also ...
Note:I personally expect every beginning to be “front loaded” with more effort and embrace Jonathan’s brute force learning concept. Only after some “pattern recognition” has been developed do I expect to read and understand faster. However, we want to make sure we don’t fall intocollect...
To reproduce, the virus creates new virus particles inside a host cell, and those particles carry the virus to new cells. Fortunately the virus particles are fragile. Viruses, including HIV, don't have cell walls or a nucleus. Basically, viruses are made up of genetic instructions wrapped ...
“I was the youngest kid in the class,” he said. “I looked like I was about twelve.” Every weekend, Huang would call Mills and pester her to do homework with him. “I tried to impress her—not with my looks, of course, but with my strong capability to complete homework,” he ...
the results have a minimum of variability in terms of the number of estimated clusters, or samples belonging to the same or different group. When it is important to identify the correct number of clusters, as in tumor stratification, it is crucial to rely on algorithms that reproduce the same...
Also, different biases in the control period do not influence the annual mean climate change signal significantly, as can be seen in the case of the Africa/West Asia overlapping region, where we saw a larger bias in the West Asia control run compared to observations than in the African ...
Pad explicitly instead. If a task will probably take one day---but might take ten days if your approach doesn't work---note this somehow in the estimate if you can; if not, at least do an average weighted by your estimates of the probabilities. Any risk factor that you can identify ...
Vermicomposters, people who raise worms and other organisms to compost, report that their earthworm populations typically double every 60 to 90 days [source: Werner]. To copulate, two worms line up against one another facing opposite directions. In this position, both worms excrete so much ...
