Alternatively, lineages of phenotypic traits that may be affected by more than one inheritance system or channel may be subject to selection.
However, separate estimation of mismatch attainment (Eqn. 1) may be subject to selection bias given the potential for correlation between the two error terms u i and v i.
Microsatellites are assumed not to be subject to selection.
However, knowledge of population history and historical relationships is a prerequisite for examining the evolution of phenotypic traits that may be subject to selection in the new environment.
The GO analysis identified several classes of genes previously hypothesized to be subject to selection [10], [32], including: immunity and defense related genes; sensory perception genes; membrane proteins; and signal receptors.
If visual predation is intense following the colonization of a new host species, a very low proportion of individuals may survive long enough to be subject to selection on physiological traits.
These GO groups can be categorized as involving several classes of genes previously hypothesized to be subject to selection [10], [32], including: immunity and defense related genes; sensory perception genes; membrane proteins; and signal receptors.
Whereas population demographic effects will influence the entire genome, the key to this approach is that only a fraction of the genome will be subject to selection, and this can be detected as deviations from allele frequency expectations assuming neutrality.
The majority of mutations are thought to be neutral but some, or certain combinations, can lead to an antigenically distinct virus which will be subject to selection since it has a reproductive advantage.
The majority of these beta-satellite monomers contain the highly conserved nucleotide block GATCAGTGC which has been proposed to function as a protein-binding site for this repeat [50], [51] and thus might be predicted to be subject to selection.
Although it is generally considered that microsatellites themselves will not be subject to selection, loci closely linked to the microsatellites will influence their population genetic behaviour [17], [18], [19], [21], [22], [23].
