Based on the comparative study in primates, the process of retroduplication has accelerated in recent evolution history and contributed significantly to the formation of new human genes functional in the male germline [18].
Thus, this disease-course bound to result in loss of locomotion, is not only more severe in outcome but also accelerated in its evolution.
A return to $100 oil would accelerate that evolution, even if in the short term it encouraged new high-cost producers to enter the market.
Natural or spontaneous mutations, which accelerate evolution in living organisms, have a number of causes.
Strong local and weak distant hotspots are caused by two mutation mechanisms that accelerate evolution in stressed cells.
This work clarified two aspects of the Baldwin effect: that lifetime learning can accelerate evolution in certain contexts, and that this learning usually comes with a cost.
These authors showed that plasticity does not accelerate adaptive evolution in RNA structures.
In parallel, the rate of mtDNA sequence evolution accelerated in the Mesostigma lineage, leading to difficulties in correctly positioning this alga in mitochondrial phylogenomic trees.
A modified Hudson-Kreitman-Aguadé test for pools also indicated an accelerated evolution in genes involved in behavior, as well as in spermatogenesis and in lipid metabolism.
Fundamental shifts in consumer expectations and behaviors, coupled with new technologies, are poised to accelerate their evolution — even in the face of regulatory pressure.
We are pursuing an integrated strategy that synthesizes maps of human-specific accelerated evolution in noncoding DNAs, in vivo analysis of cis-regulatory elements, and functional genomic atlases of human development to reveal the genetic basis of unique human biology.
