Sentence examples for be explained by drift from inspiring English sources

The temporal heterogeneity is small for some locus and could be explained by drift or sampling error.

This is, in practice, an overestimate because some loci will be undergoing selection and lead to larger changes in allele frequencies than can be explained by drift only.

A supposedly neutral marker and a marker located in the QTL region on chromosome 14 showed temporal variations in allele frequencies that could not be explained by drift only.

For each of the 44,817 SNPs, we constructed a test (see Methods) to determine whether the observed change in allele frequency could be explained by drift or alternatively must be due to selection.

Life-history variation of animals in our study could explain ∼11 18% of total variability in interspecies transcript levels (Table 1), whereas variability in the expression of other orthologs could be explained by drift (Figs S9 and S10, Table S8) and stabilizing constraints (Figs S11 and S12, Table S9).

It describes a pattern of increasing body size that cannot be explained by random "drift", but suggests bigger animals generally fare better at sea.

The transition from the slope revealing COF of 0.077 ± 0.004, typical for MoS2 from previous measurements, to the slope for COF of 0.12 ± 0.003 can be explained by the drift of the nano-onion with respect to the AFM tip.

Temporal changes in allele frequencies could not be explained by genetic drift or random sampling.

The northern part of Sweden, Norrland, showed a particularly strong population structure, which could be explained by genetic drift in this sparsely inhabited region.

Nevertheless, these results can be explained by genetic drift which implies isolation but not necessarily an old history for that population.

The method applied here (eqs. 1 4) is intended not just to test whether populations are significantly different but whether differences are too large to be explained by genetic drift.
