Sentence examples for and evolution of novel from inspiring English sources

An organism's external environment often plays a critical role in directing both the development and evolution of novel traits.

Combining of putative primitive amino acids and some particular new amino acids depending on the target protein would provide attractive resource for design and evolution of novel proteins in the laboratory.

The physiological, behavioral, and morphological changes evident in Arctonotus make it easily distinguishable from any Proserpinus and in combination with the unique changes in P. flavofasciata and P. terlooii inspired this study to investigate the evolutionary relationships between and within the two genera as they pertain to the pace and evolution of novel and unique traits.

The population dynamics of gene copy-number variation in populations are therefore important for understanding both the adaptation and evolution of novel genes.

Rapid divergence of gene copies after duplication is thought to determine the fate of the copies and evolution of novel protein functions.

However, there is growing evidence from both plant [ 11, 7] and animal [ 12, 13] systems that repeat sequences derived from mobile elements play a significant role in generation and evolution of novel genes and exons.

The mechanism and evolution of such novel cassette arrays require further investigation and surveillance.

Beetle horns possess many characteristics that make them interesting models for integrating genetic, developmental, and environmental perspectives on the development and evolution of complex, novel traits (reviewed in [ 7]).

DcAFP and grass LRR-IRI genes are therefore intriguing examples of parallel evolution of function by two completely different molecular mechanisms; evolutionary alterations of a pre-existing LRR-domain and evolution of a novel repeat domain with ice binding properties.

Duplicated genes identified with this approach were further studied to test for evidence of positive Darwinian selection and whether the hypothesis for the retention of duplicated genes and the evolution of novel gene functions in one copy is supported.

The evolution of gene expression occurs through changes in transcriptional control mechanisms, including the modification of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) (Wray 2001; Gompel et al. 2005) and the evolution of novel functions in regulatory proteins such as transcription factors and cofactors (Lynch et al. 2008; Wagner and Lynch 2008).
