The phrase "a functional divergence between these two" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing differences in functionality or performance between two entities, such as systems, theories, or products.
Example: "The study revealed a functional divergence between these two software applications, highlighting their distinct approaches to data processing."
Alternatives: "a functional difference between these two" or "a functional variation between these two".
Interestingly, unlike AmOr170, ant Ors in the subfamily A were mostly enriched in workers (fig. 2 C), indicating a functional divergence between the two lineages.
This result suggests a functional divergence between species because positively selected sites differ between species.
These differences may represent the possible functional divergence between the two paralogs.
The TipE-Teh1-Teh2 proteins form a distinct clade from Teh3-Teh4, suggesting possible functional divergence between members of these two clades.
Compared with only one CAAS for the Type-I functional divergence, there were seven predicted sites for the Type-II functional divergence between III/IV, indicating that the functional divergence between the two group genes was mainly attributed to the rapid changes of amino acid physiochemical property, and secondly to the shifted evolutionary rate.
The divergence between the two Oxytricha trnM's (55.9%) is greater than that between typical eukaryotic initiator and elongator trnMs; for instance, in Reclinomonas, these genes are 67.1% identical, suggesting that there may be substantial functional divergence between the two classes of ciliate mitochondrial trnMs.
This method tests whether the coefficient of functional divergence θ of two selected lineages is significantly larger than 0. If so, then there is significant functional divergence between two lineages, and the sites contributed to divergence are also inferred using a probabilistic model.
Statistically, this functional divergence between two clades is measured by the coefficient of functional divergence, θ, ranging from 0 to 1.
Among other factors positive Darwinian selection can be responsible for functional divergence between two duplicates (e.g., [ 36- 38]).
Note: θI and θII, the coefficients of Type-I and Type-II functional divergence between two gene clusters; LRT, Likelihood Ratio Statistic; Q k, posterior probability.
