That the results of the QTL analysis infer that no QTL with large individual effects segregated in the base population is consistent with the steady selection response in both directions that have been obtained during the 40 generations of divergent selection [ 1, 2].
In contrast, whenever the population size or the number of loci is finite, predictions include a decrease of genetic variance and of the response to selection until a steady state is reached, i.e. selection/mutation/drift equilibrium [ 20].
He motioned toward audio speakers in the room, which blasted a steady stream of Top Forty musical selections: "That's why you have the music".
As a result of stabilizing selection, populations often maintain a steady genetic constitution with respect to many traits.
They focused on a 450-base pair section of mitochondrial DNA, because such DNA mutates at a steady rate regardless of the pressures of natural selection.
A steady genetic improvement has been achieved through the selection based on the raw phenotype released by the OFA.
A member who responded well to nonfiction would see a steady diet of it as the club's main selection, while a neighbor might receive only novels.
We use a greedy selection algorithm at first and see a steady increase in the objective function ("number of hits") during the evolution process,.
Then began a steady decline.
A steady rain was falling.
