In total, as there were 13 internal nodes, 13 posterior distributions of s estimates were obtained, 11 of which could be assigned to independently estimated evolutionary timescales of their hosts on the basis of the FV-host co-speciation assumption (Fig. 1a, and Additional file 1: Table S2).
We find that a large proportion of the membrane proteins can be assigned a function either as receptors, transporters, or enzymes and that a majority of all membrane proteins can be assigned to a family of evolutionary related proteins while 41% of the membrane proteins are found as single genes without close relatives.
In addition, absolute evolutionary rates can be assigned to each edge and a corresponding calibration of the tree nodes in time can be obtained using the method of non-parametric rate smoothing [ 10].
For example, at the stage of the divergence of P. horikoshii and P. abyssi, an essential evolutionary role may be assigned to changes in the trophic chain, namely, acquisition of a consumer status at a high (P. horikoshii) or low level (P. abyssi).
From an evolutionary viewpoint, a function can be assigned to a DNA sequence if and only if it is possible to destroy it.
The ship was assigned to the Evolutionary Squadron on 8 October 1873.
Finally, the origin of a complete protein interaction (including two proteins and an interaction) was assigned to the evolutionary stage in which the last component in the protein interaction appeared.
Syntenic blocks containing 12 or more gene pairs were assigned to an evolutionary event, whether speciation (orthologous) or WGD (homeologous), based on a unified synonymous substitution rate (Ks) for genes contained within the block.
More opportunities are assigned to DE in the early evolutionary stage for gene-level global search in decision space; whereas, with the generation grows, more chances are gradually allocated to SBX for gene-level local search.
In recent years, most eukaryotic diversity has been assigned to six putative supergroups, but the evolutionary origin of a few major "orphan" lineages remains elusive.
