Sentence examples for by direct selection on from inspiring English sources

Its fate is jointly determined by direct selection on locus A, linkage to the selected locus B, migration, and random genetic drift.

Several mechanisms that provide both environmental and genetic robustness have been described, and this correlation could be explained by direct selection on both forms of robustness (direct selection hypothesis), or through selection on environmental robustness and a correlated response in genetic robustness (congruence hypothesis).

Suppressors were screened for a functional phenotype by direct selection on a minimal media containing 10 μM GSH.

The resulting transformants were screened for a functional phenotype by direct selection on minimal media containing 10 μM GSH.

Our results indicate that with a limited population size, inbreeding is not only caused by random genetic drift but also by direct selection on the QTL.

Thus, change in preference is driven by direct selection on preferences, a P, 0 C PP, as well as indirect selection via the linkage disequilibrium between preference and trait, a T, 0 C PT (from [ 23], eq 16).

Variance at the observed scale can be selected for directly, whereas log-transformed variance can be controlled either by direct selection, or by selecting on an index with appropriate weights on mean BW and observed variance.

Second, the positive selection detected in this study could have arisen by selective sweep rather than direct selection on the small RNA loci themselves.

Direct selection on a trait is estimated by its direct effect and effects through intermediate steps on fitness, whereas indirect selection on a focal trait is estimated by its effects via correlations with other traits related to fitness in the model [26].

This approach has the assumption that there is direct selection on the trait under analysis.

However, direct selection on both forms of robustness could potentially create unexpected auxiliary correlations.
