We immobilized mosquitoes by chilling them briefly on ice and then inoculated 1 bead with at most 0n3 l of saline solution into the thorax.
Four replicate lines were selected for large or for small thorax length, with four replicate control lines.
To be valid, however, this interpretation implies a positive genetic correlation with thorax size.
The lines were scored for their body size, measured as thorax length.
The data from that study were combined with those on thorax length from the present study, to examine the correlations between them.
Another example is tumour localisation within the thorax.
As expected perhaps, these differences are larger for some sites (head and neck, thorax), than for others (breast, pelvis).
The trial includes the four most common sites treated at the hospital: head and neck, thorax, pelvis and breast.
