However, the problem still remained insurmountable, until in 1953 Max Perutz discovered that the phase problem in analysis of the diffraction patterns could be solved by multiple isomorphous replacement — comparison of patterns from several crystals ; one from the native protein, and others that had been soaked in solutions of heavy metals and had metal ions introduced in different well-defined positions.

Phantom cats ( an example of living animals supposedly found outside of their normal range ) are a common subject of cryptozoological interest, largely due to the relative likelihood of existence in comparison to fantastical cryptids lacking any evidence of existence, such as Mothman.

After further investigation and comparison with similar fossils found in other places, Buckland published that conclusion in 1829 and named them coprolites.

RunB avoids much of the runtime overhead found in typical interpreted BASICs of the day — not to mention that one can do integer calculations where appropriate rather than doing everything in floating point — so that BASIC09 programs run extremely quickly in comparison with equivalent programs in the interpreted BASICs of the time.

Much of the genetic work done on hemichordates has been done to make comparison with chordates, so it is obvious that many of the genetic markers identified in this group are also found in chordates or are homologous to chordates in some way.

In teleost fish ( which make up the great majority of existing species ), the forebrain is distorted in comparison to other types of vertebrates: most neuroanatomists believe that the teleost forebrain is essentially everted, like a sock turned inside-out, so that structures that lie in the interior, next to the ventricles, for most vertebrates, are found on the outside in teleost fish, and vice versa.
