Even though we are now in a better position to identify the genetic basis of adaptation and the mechanisms of adaptive responses in the wild, it remains a challenge to go beyond descriptive measures of patterns of genetic variation.
Occasionally, bases are changed in a way that increases the survival or reproductive success of their carrier: such mutations are the basis of adaptation by natural selection.
Abouheif says the results could have profound implications for understanding the genetic and developmental basis of adaptation to climate change.
I am interested in studying the genetic basis of adaptation and its importance in the process of speciation in mammals.
Further, it will also lead to the unraveling of several theories on the genetic basis of adaptation among fishes under changes in climatic conditions (Orr, 2015).
Generation of a white-tailed deer genome sequence assembly would provide a valuable resource for population geneticists and physiologists studying the basis of adaptation and fecundity [5] [8].
To investigate the origin of Tibetans and the genetic basis of adaptation in a rigorous environment, we genotyped 30 Tibetan individuals with more than one million SNP markers.
Whether and how thermal reaction norm is under genetic control is fundamental to understand the mechanistic basis of adaptation to novel thermal environments.
In order to understand the molecular basis of adaptation and transmission of H9N2 viruses in different animal species in nature, we developed a laboratory-based model to adapt an H9N2 virus to land-based poultry.
The significant overrepresentation of genes involved in ion transport and other functions provides a starting point for investigating the molecular basis of adaptation to soil ion content, water retention, and other ecologically and economically important variables.
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) along with duplications, insertions, and other polymorphisms (DIPs) have been reported as the dominant genetic basis of adaptation in evolution experiments with microbes [18], [23], [24].
