Sentence examples for a target of selection from inspiring English sources
Two other studies of Tibetans' adaptation to high altitude have also identified this gene as a target of selection.
Therefore, skeletal system is a likely a target of selection during human evolution.
Previously, the region surrounding TRPV6 (including TRPV5 and EPHB6) was identified as a target of selection using the analogous Rsb statistic [19].
To determine if attachment rate was, in fact, a target of selection in our experiments, we measured the attachment rates to S. typhimurium for each mutagenized population both before and after evolution (fig. 4).
Hsp70Ba, one of the Hsp70 genes, is known to be polymorphic in natural D. melanogaster populations and considered a target of selection for thermotolerance and resistance to other stresses [33], suggesting that its function as a molecular chaperone is important for survival.
Previous large scale analysis of human variation have not identified PARP4 as a target of selection [79] (http://haplotter.uchicago.edu/).edu/
Note that genes controlling programmed cell death seem to be a target of choice for selection to act on.
The lack of meristic differences between Gambusia populations experiencing different fragmentation regimes might indicate that meristics, as opposed to multivariate shape, may not represent a target of divergent selection in this system or perhaps take longer to respond to selection.
One possible explanation for this unique pattern is that hominins were polygynous, but that canine size was no longer a target of sexual selection.
Because the developmental processes that construct cognitive mechanisms during an individual's lifetime will also have reproductive consequences for the organism, cognitive development will also be a target of natural selection.
Further combined population genetics and network analyses suggest that DTH2 probably represents a target of artificial selection for adaptation to LD during rice domestication and improvement, demonstrating an important role of minor effect quantitative trait loci in crop adaptation and breeding (Wu et al., 2013).
