Of the small subset of polymorphisms that affect molecular function, some may produce an advantageous phenotype subject to positive selection, some are deleterious to organismal fitness and are therefore subject to purifying selection, and yet others are selectively neutral (subject to drift).
On the other hand, certain insertions may also be advantageous and subject to positive selection.
As plants adapt to a changing environment and evolution of pathogens, expanded subfamilies of genes involved in plant defense may act as sandboxes from which some genes emerge as advantageous and are subjected to positive selection while some are not and become pseudogenes.
It would therefore be advantageous to study illusory sensation of movement with a non-invasive stimulation technique such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) [8] in healthy subjects who are deprived of sensory feedback.
Shown in Figure 1, beginning at approximately the 20th trial, control subjects shifted preference toward advantageous decks, whereas cocaine-dependent subjects showed little change in preference over the 100 trials, favoring the disadvantageous decks.

The payouts are considered qualified dividend income for U.S. investors and subject to the advantageous 15% tax rate.
On the other hand, automatic methods would be advantageous since they are not subject to this variation, and thus, the significance of changes in volumes could be more easily assessed.
Breast implantation surgery was considered advantageous by 91% of the subjects, demonstrating high patient satisfaction.
The inclusion of genetic variants in risk assessment is advantageous as it is not subjected to time-dependent errors in measurement, unlike environmental exposures such as BMI or smoking.
