Sentence examples for been retained in evolution from inspiring English sources

To investigate this, and gain further insight into why these three duplicate genes have been retained in evolution, we carried out gene disruption followed by RNA-seq gene expression profiling.

Fourth, shrinkage of non-coding DNA is also possible: though parts of intergenic regions or introns are functionally important and have to be retained in evolution [ 15- 17], a large proportion of non-coding sequences appear to be dispensable.

Before microbes or any of their component molecules ever had direct contact with cells of the innate immune system, they could be detected by proteins that were retained in evolution for this express purpose.

Both of these patches are well conserved in aSelBL (green boxes, Figure 2), suggesting ribosome binding may also have been retained in aSelBL evolution.

Some of such copies have been retained in duplicate through evolution [8].

Because of a round of genome duplication occurred at the base of teleosts radiation, several zebrafish genes have been retained in duplicate through evolution.

Why then has a heat shock response been retained in this pathogen during evolution if it is obligately associated with warm blooded animals?

The expression level of each gene was then plotted as a function of its PI, with PI>150 and PI<50 used as borders to distinguish "persistent" genes that have been retained in most species during evolution (with over 150 orthologs among the 236 selected genomes) from the "less conserved" genes (with less than 50 orthologs).

During evolution, NnPAL1 is found to be an ancient member of the PAL family that has been retained in angiosperms.

Nevertheless, many clues to the numerous gradations that occurred during eye evolution are retained in surviving organisms in the morphology and biochemistry of their retinal cells and, perhaps most importantly, in their genes.

One possibility is that some genes are retained in specific lineages because during evolution, they may have had vital roles in these lineages but not in others.
