Nevertheless, the theoretical approach is a good starting point for deducing the evolution mode for miRNA families.
PvuII thus represented a good starting point for studies on the evolution of the C protein-dependent regulatory mechanism.
Promiscuous activities can provide the starting point for evolution of new enzymes, both in nature and in the hands of protein engineers.
This past selection, which cannot be assessed, has presumably shaped the starting point for evolution in response to recent fishing.
The specific, highly expressed 24-nt sRNAs identified in conifers will provide a good starting point for investigations into the function and evolution of siRNAs in conifers.
However, they are a good starting point for order-of magnitude estimates of the adaptive evolution of binding sites.
Because natural products have been selected during evolution to bind to various proteins during their life-cycle, they are good starting points for drug discovery [3, 4].
Highly stable proteins can also be used as starting points for laboratory evolution experiments to increase the fraction of fragmented proteins that retain function within a combinatorial library, provided that a highly stable homologue is available as a starting point for laboratory evolution.
A starting point for this evolution can be traced back to Albarn's first foray into Mali, an adventure he says changed his life, set up initially by Oxfam.
This situation, and the consequent lack of fidelity in genome maintenance, may serve as a starting point for the evolution of antibiotic resistance, fitness for survival and pathogenicity, possibly conferring a selective advantage in certain stressful situations.
The industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain Ethanol Red [Fermentis, S.I. Lesaffre] (ER) was used as a starting point for the evolution.
