Unlike CpG sites in the coding region of a gene, in most instances the CpG sites in the CpG islands of promoters are unmethylated if the genes are expressed.

Unlike the tests described above, forensic testing is not used to detect gene mutations associated with disease.

Unlike E-LTP, which is independent of protein synthesis, L-LTP requires gene transcription and protein synthesis in the postsynaptic cell.

Unlike one-and two-point crossover, the Uniform Crossover enables the parent chromosomes to contribute the gene level rather than the segment level.

Unlike mice with a damaged myostatin gene, in these cattle breeds the muscle cells multiply rather than enlarge.

Unlike current conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, gene transfer has the potential to selectively kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed.

Unlike genomics, functional genomics focuses on the dynamic aspects such as gene transcription, translation, and protein – protein interactions, as opposed to the static aspects of the genomic information such as DNA sequence or structures.

Unlike the blue eyes seen linked to the genes in bicolor cats and cats with point coloration, both of which suppress pigmentation, this gene is not linked to any certain fur color or pattern, giving the opportunity to have cats with dark coats and blue eyes.

Unlike the cream gene, pearl does not seem to affect the mane and tail to a greater extent than the body coat, a feature of cream that is most vividly illustrated in the palomino coat color.

Unlike the genes underlying tobiano, dominant white, frame overo spotting and the Leopard complex common to the Appaloosa, the champagne gene does not affect the location of pigment-producing cells in the skin.

Unlike the coat colors associated with only a single cream gene, double cream champagnes ( respectively prefixed with " gold ," " amber ," etc.

Unlike most genes related to Romano-Ward syndrome, the ANK2 gene does not produce an ion channel.

Unlike bony fish, there is no direct control of the pigment cells by the nervous system, and this results in the colour change taking place more slowly than happens in fish.

Unlike ethanol, methanol is extremely toxic: As little as 10 ml can cause permanent blindness by destruction of the optic nerve and 30 ml ( one fluid ounce ) is potentially fatal.

Unlike conventional auctions, bids are non-refundable ; if one player bids 65 for psyche and another wins with a bid of 66, then the character with 66 is " superior " to the character with 65 even though there is only one bid difference.

Unlike pure metals, most alloys do not have a single melting point, but a melting range in which the material is a mixture of solid and liquid phases.

Unlike beta decay, alpha decay is governed by the interplay between the nuclear force and the electromagnetic force.

Unlike gingerbread (), which is sweetened with honey, Printen are sweetened with sugar.

Unlike the other Ainu clans currently living in Russia, there is considerable doubt whether the Nakamura clan of Kamchatka should be identified as Northern Kurils Ainu, Southern Kurils Ainu or as Kamchatka Ainu.

Unlike his translation of the Pastoral Care, Alfred here deals very freely with his original and though the late Dr. G. Schepss showed that many of the additions to the text are to be traced not to Alfred himself, but to the glosses and commentaries which he used, still there is much in the work which is solely Alfred's and highly characteristic of his style.

Unlike mainstream medicine, CAM often lacks or has only limited experimental and clinical study ; however, scientific investigation of CAM is beginning to address this knowledge gap.

Unlike individual groups, the GSO is not self-supporting and maintains a small salaried staff.

Unlike the typical hijackings of land vehicles or ships, skyjacking is not usually committed for robbery or theft.

Unlike McCaffrey's black crystal transceivers, Le Guin's ansibles are not mated pairs: it is possible for an ansible's coordinates to be set to any known location of a receiving ansible.

Unlike Pentecostals, Evangelicals and Fundamentalists generally do not believe that physical healing is within the anointing.

Unlike that, the speed of light is constant and only its direction changes.

Unlike in Hindu and Jain sources, in ancient Buddhist texts ahimsa ( or its Pāli cognate ) is not used as a technical term.

Unlike the IEEE, however, the ACM is solely dedicated to computing.

Unlike a conventional tank water heater, the tank is filled only when there is sunlight.

Unlike the police and security forces, the Army and the People's Militia is organized along Soviet / Chinese models and precepts.
