The gait of the epaulette shark is convergently similar to those of tetrapods such as salamanders, suggesting that the movements needed for walking on land may predate, and facilitated the evolution of, the first terrestrial vertebrates.
Collectively, these observations have major public health consequences, as a shared drug defence mechanism will undermine the efficacy of Artemisinin Combination Therapies (ACTs) as a whole, and facilitate the evolution of resistance.
Intragenomic translocations may limit recombination, although in Silene the role of chromosomal rearrangements in the cessation of X-Y recombination is yet uncertain [3].In the absence of recombination, genes linked to male traits could accumulate on the sex chromosomes, allowing differential expression between the sexes and facilitating the evolution of sexual dimorphism [4], [5].
Programme output data demonstrates that increased resources and policy engagement can result in increased services for people in need and facilitate the evolution of HIV policies.
The World Peace Through Technology Organization (WPTTO) advocates the use of technology to inspire peace and "facilitate the evolution of community development between global citizens".
This study aims to investigate the expression and diversification of conopeptides in closely related species to provide insights into the processes that contribute to inter- and intraspecific differences in the venom composition and facilitate the evolution of Conus exogenome.
Setting aside the exact reasons why new tubulin loci were established, transposition events in the ancestor of Leishmania may have been essential to overcome the historical constraint inherited from non-parasitic kinetoplastids, and facilitate the evolution of novel expression patterns.
Oxygenic photosynthesis, a unique form of photosynthesis that originated in the cyanobacterial lineage, was one of the most profound innovations of life on Earth as it induced planetary-scale geochemical changes and facilitated the evolution of plants via endosymbiosis of cyanobacterial cells (Sagan, 1967; Bekker et al., 2004; Mulkidjanian et al., 2006).
Mobilization of L1, thus, occurring via a "copy-paste" mechanism is associated with a number of events, including the development of novel gene promoters, splice sites, polyadenylation signals, dispersing transcription binding splice sites, linking genes in transcriptional networks, and facilitating the evolution of novel traits (reviewed in [ 3]).
