Sentence examples for asymmetric selection from inspiring English sources

The results for asymmetric selection coefficients are qualitatively identical.

This empirical evidence supports evolutionary models that predict higher population frequencies for alleles experiencing asymmetric selection pressures across the sexes [ 7].

Moreover, as was the case for single mutations G238S and R164S (Table 1), the correlated response after four rounds of evolution is asymmetric: Selection for CAZ resistance is accompanied by larger increases in CTX resistance than vice versa for selection with CTX, as shown by their level of specialization toward CTX or CAZ (Fig. 4).

The parental conflict hypothesis proposes that imprinting is the product of asymmetric selection on parental genomes, with selection favouring the expression of paternal genes that increase the amount of maternal nutrient transfer while expression from maternally-inherited genes will be favoured if they reduce nutritional demands on the mother [ 8- 10].

At the same time, we included these two shRNAs with the aim of testing whether dsRNA processing could impart asymmetric strand selection in a processed siRNA that was thermodynamically symmetric or asymmetric.

At all loci except HLA-DPB1, populations have accumulated a high proportion of very divergent alleles, suggesting an advantage of heterozygotes expressing molecularly distant HLA molecules (asymmetric overdominant selection model).

As suggested above, asymmetric overdominant selection and/or ABC evolution must have played a prominent role, even though the effects of recombination, gene conversion and balancing selection are very hard to disentangle from each other and may have acted simultaneously [87].

This allowed exploring whether molecular distances between alleles were skewed towards greater values, an expected pattern of asymmetric balancing selection (i.e. heterozygous with highly divergent alleles would be functionally advantaged because they would be able to cover wider spectrums of pathogen's peptides), or not.

Thus, asymmetric balancing selection could not explain the skewed KB(m) distribution in the present study.

Through being expressed in all neurons, Tcf7l2 can act as a regulatory switch for asymmetric fate selection.

Magnitude pleiotropy is asymmetric, because selection for CTX resistance is accompanied by smaller increases in CAZ resistance than vice versa.
