Sentence examples for between evolutionary and functional from inspiring English sources

A major barrier between evolutionary and functional biology is the difficulty of determining appropriate genotype phenotype-fitness maps, particularly in metazoans.

The relatively high overlap cutoff (50%) between evolutionary and functional gene modules allows genes with multiple functional roles to be captured by different module types.

We tested the connection between evolutionary and functional shifts and then reassessed the connection in terms of response to environmental context.

The aim of this study was to extend our investigation into the relationship between evolutionary and functional shifts to focus on the role of the environment.

Delineating ancestral gene relations among a large set of sequenced eukaryotic genomes allowed us to rigorously examine links between evolutionary and functional traits.

The aim of this study was to test the relationship between evolutionary and functional shifts with special emphasis on the role of the environment.

A number of previous studies have investigated the connections between evolutionary traits and functional properties on the premise that gene functionality impacts on the strength of negative selection.

In addition, we make no a priori assumptions about conservation of function within versus between orthologous groups, or about the relationship between evolutionary distance and functional conservation (as the distance may not necessarily reflect every given function).

Finally, we explored the relationships between evolutionary patterns and functional diversification by combining the phylogenetic results with available literature for functions of plant Su var)3-9 SET genes; the results of our study would lay the foundation for the design of future experimental studies.

Johnson, D. S., Davidson, B., Brown, C. D., Smith, W. C. & Sidow, A. Noncoding regulatory sequences of Ciona exhibit strong correspondence between evolutionary constraint and functional importance.

With the number of completely sequenced genomes approaching a landmark of 1000, it is becoming possible to look for similarities and differences between genomes to make evolutionary and functional inferences.
