Her recent research focuses on the causes and consequences of diverging economic growth across U.S. cities and its effects on inequality.
Given time, populations separated by erosion gaps will diverge as a consequence of both adaptive divergence and neutral processes (drift), the latter being more important where the selective differentials between populations are low and/or population size is small with limited gene flow [ 21].
Thus, our results add to the study of Roberge et al. (2008) by clearly showing that the outcomes of introgressive hybridization are highly variable and population specific, perhaps as a consequence of locally adapted genomes and diverging genetic architectures, in accordance with theory about the complex properties of the genetic architecture (Mackay 2001; Rieseberg et al. 2003; Lynch 2007).
Will priorities of physicians, policy makers and healthcare executives converge or diverge as a consequence of the new payment systems?
Typically, orthologs are defined as homologous sequences, which diverge as a consequence of a speciation event, whereas paralogs are homologous sequences originating from a duplication node.
A large fraction of neighboring TF binding sites have been formed by local duplications of a common sequence and might diverge as a consequence of point mutations [ 34]; further, these sites may have been selected for specific environmental conditions, as suggested by Singh and Hannenhalli [ 35].
Evidence for the importance of stochastic components in gene expression changes with age has been provided previously using different approaches [ 20, 54], but ours is the first direct evidence that transcriptomes of individual animals can significantly diverge as a consequence of the aging process, and not just between individual genes.
In other words, when comparing the contribution of different sources of wage variation, wages diverge mainly as a consequence of differentials in the productive capacity of the job worker match as a result of individual productive characteristics.
Dobzhansky (1937) and Muller (1942) envisioned the evolution of intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation as a consequence of the incompatibility of interacting genes that have diverged between taxa (e.g., Brideau et al., 2006).
Using only orthologous1Homologous murine and human genes that have diverged from each other as a consequence of speciation.
As species diverge, satDNAs accumulate changes as a consequence of mutations and turnover mechanisms in separate lineages generating species-specific satDNA arrays (Dover 1986).
