Sentence examples for be under stabilising selection from inspiring English sources
Telomere length is a trait that is highly likely to be under stabilising selection.
On one hand VRs may be expected to be under stabilising selection within a species, favouring low variation in receptor characteristics to ensure essential chemo signals (predator cues or sex-specific signals, for example [ 13, 30, 31]) are accurately detected and transduced.
The seven housekeeping genes analysed by MLST are under stabilising selection making the technique useful for tracking long-term national and international epidemiology [ 3].
This may suggest that only a small fraction of the control region (e.g. a few residues) is under stabilising selective positive pressure.
Because it is based on the sequences of multiple housekeeping loci which are predominantly under stabilising selection, MLST data can also be used to examine the evolutionary relationships between strains [17].
We have shown that cooperative binding between a pair of transcription factors is favoured under stabilising selection, provided the overlap between their targets is sufficiently large.
The linear relationship between distances with a steep slope is expected under directional selection, and the lack of relationship is expected under stabilising selection.
When cooperative binding is present, under stabilising selection, transcription factor binding sites at co-regulated genes are better able to tolerate mutations (i.e a hs > a s ).
The near zero slopes in the left hand extremity of Figures 5A and 5B are consistent with the lower than expected disparity within younger clades, and both patterns are likely under stabilising selection.
It appears to be under strong stabilising selection and varies categorically between different clades in the avian phylogenetic tree.
Spectral tuning of the SWS1 cone opsin seems to be under strong stabilising selection in birds [ 30], likely partly due to gross spectral tuning shifts carrying costs, such as increased retinal photooxidation and ocular light scattering (reviewed in [ 47]).
