Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Erythroid bursts from cord or adult blood were grown in methylcellulose cultures (3 international units of erythropoietin per plate). On day 13, single bursts were picked up and reincubated for 16-24 hr with [H]leucine. Radioactive globin chains [α,β,(G)γ, and (A)γ (Ala-136)] were analyzed by either isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gels and fluorography or carboxymethylcellulose chromatography. In all cases, α to non-α globin radioactivity ratios were close to 1. In single cord blood bursts, the values of both γ-to-β and (G)γ-to-(A)γ ratios were spread over a large spectrum and further characterized by a continuous rather than a bimodal distribution. Moreover, the (G)γ-to-(A)γ ratios demonstrated in single bursts appeared to be directly correlated with the respective γ-to-β ratios. These data suggest that both the γ→β and the (G)γ→(A)γ switches are mediated via mechanisms modulating the relative activities of the different genes in the non-α globin gene cluster rather than via selection of clones committed to the preferential synthesis of β and (A)γ globins. In contrast with the results obtained with cord blood, individual adult blood bursts synthesize a lower and hence relatively more uniform amount of γ globin chains.
