Sentence examples for been under recent selection from inspiring English sources

As a rule, the greater the linkage disequilibrium associated with a gene, the more likely that the gene has been under recent selection.

As more data are obtained on the functionality of regulatory motifs and regions and on areas of the human genome which have been under recent selection, further scans may be able to reduce the large number of insertions possibly related to recently evolved human-specific functionality.

The variants in LARGE (found to be under recent selection) are present only in certain West African and West African derived populations and are estimated to have emerged between 3000 and 10,000 years ago.
