Sentence examples for analogous selection from inspiring English sources

Based on this finding, we hypothesize that Alu elements in the intergenic and intron regions are under an analogous selection pressure or have not been selected in the evolution of the human genome.

In our previous work, an analogous selection through the use of a phagemid vector, with antibody expression under the control of a lacP promoter, led to isolation of anti-CEA phage antibodies with improved affinities, which were not producible in soluble form.

Social sorting mechanisms or analogous selection processes may impose confounding effects in the study of aetiological relationships.

An analogous selection of genes from cluster 2 is provided in Additional file 3. Genes in cluster one include the GABA-Cl and nAChR α-3 subunits which are potential targets for EMB, with nAChR α-3 also having been identified as constitutively differentially expressed between salmon louse strains.

We made four basic assumptions: First, during its dispersal northwards in North America, W. smithii has undergone analogous directional selection on its circadian clock as reflected in circadian-based behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster, D. subobscura, and D. littoralis.

Obviously, the situation when fitnesses of an individual can take only two values, 0 and w max > 0, is analogous to truncation selection in the case of selection acting on a quantitative trait other than fitness.

Rather, we conclude that the pattern of mating was caused by either active competition between different size cells of the same mating type for access to partners of the other type (analogous to sexual selection by male male competition) or active mate choice for partners of the right size (analogous to sexual selection by female choice), or a combination of both.

In biological terms, the β i are analogous to linear selection gradients, and the γ i are analogous to quadratic selection gradients as defined by Lande and Arnold [ 6].

An analogous thing is selection bias.

SST was dropped in all final models, as it was identified as an unimportant variable from recursive feature elimination, a process analogous to backward selection in regression29.

Neural connections that fire a lot are preserved, while neural connections that go unused are pruned away, in a manner analogous to natural selection.
