preferentially

Although most genetic risk variants linked to psychiatric diagnoses impacted genes with well-known biological functions, the researchers found that some genetic risk variants preferentially affected the expression of HERVs.

During intense activity, the muscle mitochondria burn it preferentially and even shut off glucose and fatty acid fuel use.

Looking to gain new insights into the generation of PCs, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions identified the genes that were preferentially expressed by emerging PCs to guide their development.

Due to their dark colour, meteorites preferentially heat up with respect to the surrounding ice.

"When drugs that bind to these receptors are taken, they are preferentially affecting the emotion regulation system, which raises questions about their potential for long-term effects on our capacity to self-regulate."
