Or, unfortunately their evolution is not really represented, meaning that the rNOL has room only for cellular genomes and not all evolving elements with DNA genomes?
"The evolving elements of Burr's complex nature," Koeppel comments with typical understatement, "were amply displayed in 1798, when he embarked on what proved a brief adventure for him and an enduring agony for New Yorkers".
My objective is to describe the rates and mechanisms of 'cuticle-ome' divergence, in order to identify conserved and rapidly evolving elements.
Other slowly evolving elements that were hit at 1e-60 or less included HUCK1-LTR_ZM (7 hits) and ZEON1_ZM (3 hits).
This underscores the role of phages and mobile elements as the most rapidly evolving elements in bacterial genomes, creating local endemicity (space), leading to temporal divergence (time), and allowing the invasion of new habitats.
The CRISPR sequences appear to be among the most rapidly evolving elements in the genome, to the point that closely related species and strains, sometimes more than 99% identical at the DNA level, differ in their CRISPR composition [ 19, 20].
Even though CRISPRs are considered to be rapidly evolving elements both CRISPR-1 and CRISPR-2 in the Australian S. Virchow strains have not accumulated new spacer sequences over a seven year period, suggesting that the US strain S. Virchow SL491 has been exposed to a greater variety of mobile DNA.
Using both metrics, we find an excess of fast-evolving elements associated with duplicated genes.
Carol Anshaw: In terms of an evolving novel of manners, an element that's potentially interesting is who gets married and who decides against it.
Some high-copy repeats are derived from fast-evolving elements, such as retroviruses, that integrate into genomes.
