Sentence examples for aggregate trait from inspiring English sources

"Upward causation," in which an organism-level aggregate trait has species- or higher-level effects, Jablonski (2008) also calls "effect macroevolution".

Of possible roles for aggregate traits fixed at a still lower level, including selfish genomic elements, there has been little discussion (Doolittle 1987).

And he notes an increasing willingness to accept a looser ("broad-sense") model, in which some "aggregate" traits (nonemergent characters fixed within populations because they are advantageous to individuals) also serve as determinants of species selection body size, ecological specialization, and reproductive mode being examples.

This clearly indicates the power and appropriateness of the forward genetic approach employed in the present study in uncovering the genetic basis of an aggregate polygenic trait such as cellular clumping that involves multiple constituent components.

In this article, he is primarily concerned with modeling the course of selection processes, and he offers a species-level selection interpretation for an aggregate species-level trait (Dawkins 1989a).

Not only does meta-analysis help to confirm the existence of declared QTL from various studies by creating possible hotspots where QTL from the same trait aggregate but it can imply the existence of pleotropic traits by creating QTL clusters for various traits.

The genetic correlation between SCORE4 9 (aggregate score of traits scored on the pathological signs of OA) and SCORE1 3 (aggregate score of traits scored largely on signs of morphological malformation) was 0.89 (±0.023) when both were transformed using natural logarithm of aggregate score +1, and 0.92 (±0.020) when untransformed, indicating substantial genetic similarity between the two groups.

Owners of Samsung gear were much more likely to fit so-called "personas" that aggregate different character traits that are appealing to advertisers than other Android users, too, Flurry found.

The results from analyses of selection indices have not only quantitatively endorsed the conclusions of the predictive ability of the morphological traits on those describing pathology, but have also quantified the improvement achievable by use of either optimum coefficients derived from index theory, or aggregate scores of traits describing hip morphology only.

General approaches for testing association between rare variants and quantitative traits include aggregating genotypes and trait values, referred to as 'collapsing', or using a score-based variance component test.

Studies on BAP would be helpful to identify which traits aggregate in family members and are, therefore, useful for restricting phenotypic heterogeneity to detect vulnerability genes for autism more accurately.
