While seawater bacterial communities showed this predicted pattern of higher diversity at lower latitudes, fish hindgut communities demonstrated a weak trend in the opposite direction, and no patterns were detected in sediment communities.

The response of tetraploid HCT116 lines to doxorubicin was also highly heterogeneous: whereas several tetraploid lines showed a weak trend of or a statistically significant increase in IC 50 of doxorubicin compared with diploids, others showed significant reductions in IC 50 (Fig. 6C ).

We observed a weak trend that shallow MSAs suffer in modeling results.

50 Data for sVCAM‐1 and sICAM‐1 only showed a weak trend with LEAD severity, which was attenuated after adjustment for baseline risk factors. 30 Furthermore, Edlinger et al. did not find any relationship between sVCAM‐1 and increasing disease stage according to Rutherford classifications.

A weak trend in pooling samples of the same species indicates the low value of the studied markers for barcoding and suggests the need to look for other markers.

Acidic residues in acetylation-generated motifs maintained similar preference for position −4 and low frequency in position −2, as observed in the canonical motifs ( Fig 3C ), while among the phosphorylation amenable amino acids used in phosphorylation-generated motifs, only serine showed a weak trend in this direction ( Fig 3B ).
