We highlighted signatures of possible selection at 12 genes/regions relevant to appearance (e.g., SOX5 along BCDO2) and production traits, exemplified by a striking evidence of selection at OPG, a gene involved in Osteoporosis a disorder related to overconsumption of calcium in egg-laying hens.
A striking feature of our selection experiment is the asymmetry of the response to selection, characterized by a higher response in the Late populations than in the Early populations.
A recent paper presented a striking example of pressure selection in extractive distillation.
This is an interesting hypothesis to be further tested, as it would be a striking example of sexual selection driving a significant excess of non-African ancestry.
A striking example of such selection was described in a 115-year-old woman whose peripheral white blood cells were shown to be primarily the offspring of only two related HSC clones, whose cargo of approximately 450 somatic mutations did not include known leukemogenic mutations (Holstege et al., 2014).
As encores, the ensemble offered selections including a striking arrangement of "Summertime," with dazzling contributions from the sopranos.
One of the coolest collabs on show at NYFW, designer Misha Nonoo teamed up with artist Dustin Yellin on a selection of striking S/S15 prints to bring the mediums of fashion and fine art together in womenswear.
Overall, our characterization of dN/dS ratios reveals a striking paucity of sites exhibiting signs of positive selection, possibly reflecting the dominating influence of negative selection throughout the receptor coding region.
Despite high levels of divergence at the sequence level, these three species exhibit a striking conservation of gene order, suggesting that selection has maintained gene order among the trypanosomatids over hundreds of millions of years of evolution.
Overall, our site-by-site analysis of dN/dS ratios reveals a striking absence of sites exhibiting signs of positive selection.
