(6) The clinical diagnosis is sometimes difficult and only the computerized axial tomography may be of invaluable help.
(7) The nucleotide sequences presented thus enable us to discriminate the tyrosinase gene from its related sequences and are invaluable for a gene diagnosis of oculocutaneous albinism.
(8) The DNA homology data indicate that phenotypic information alone, including antigenic serotypic data, is not always adequate for species designation among the ureaplasmas and that comparative analyses of the genome provide invaluable data for establishing new species.
