What about protein polarity?

Epithelial cell polarity: what flies can teach us about cancer.

Epithelial cells are polarized along their apical-basal axis. Much of the cellular machinery that goes into establishing and maintaining epithelial cell polarity is evolutionarily conserved. Model organisms, including the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, are thus particularly useful for the study of cell polarity. Work in Drosophila has identified several important components of the polarity...

Polarity Preference of Verbs: What Could Verbs Reveal about the Polarity of Their Objects?

The current endeavour focuses on the notion of positive versus negative polarity preference of verbs for their direct objects. This preference has to be distinguished from a verb’s own prior polarity for the same verb, these two properties might even be inverse. Polarity preferences of verbs are extracted on the basis of a large and dependencyparsed corpus by means of statistical measures. We o...

What does electrophoretic variation tell us about protein variation?

Before the introduction of DNA sequencing methods into population genetics by Kreitman (1983), the major source of information about genetic variation among organisms in natural populations came from electrophoretic studies of proteins. The amount of information acquired during 25 years of major electrophoretic activity is staggering and, for purely technical reasons, is likely to remain orders...
