Based on this finding, we hypothesize that Alu elements in the intergenic and intron regions are under an analogous selection pressure or have not been selected in the evolution of the human genome.
In our previous work, an analogous selection through the use of a phagemid vector, with antibody expression under the control of a lacP promoter, led to isolation of anti-CEA phage antibodies with improved affinities, which were not producible in soluble form.
Social sorting mechanisms or analogous selection processes may impose confounding effects in the study of aetiological relationships.
An analogous selection of genes from cluster 2 is provided in Additional file 3. Genes in cluster one include the GABA-Cl and nAChR α-3 subunits which are potential targets for EMB, with nAChR α-3 also having been identified as constitutively differentially expressed between salmon louse strains.
Differential speciation rates between lineages with differing capabilities of becoming widely dispersed have also factored importantly into discussions of species selection (analogous to natural selection, but operating on entire species rather than individual organisms).
Cells undergo clonal selection, analogous to Darwinian selection [ 70, 97- 100].
We made four basic assumptions: First, during its dispersal northwards in North America, W. smithii has undergone analogous directional selection on its circadian clock as reflected in circadian-based behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster, D. subobscura, and D. littoralis.
This species selection is analogous to natural selection between organisms.
To overcome this we introduce a stochastic topology selection approach, analogous to stochastic variable selection in regression models (George and McCulloch, 1995), whereby only a random subset of topologies dictated by the data is maintained.
Obviously, the situation when fitnesses of an individual can take only two values, 0 and w max > 0, is analogous to truncation selection in the case of selection acting on a quantitative trait other than fitness.
Analogous to the phenotypic selection approach, investigators can ask whether observed shifts in allele frequency correspond to selection on those alleles.
