Denoeud F, et al. Plasticity of animal genome architecture unmasked by rapid evolution of a pelagic tunicate.
The design and development of HCV vaccine has been hampered by rapid evolution of viral quasispecies resulting in antibody escape variants.
Ascidians are a fascinating group of filter-feeding marine chordates characterized by rapid evolution of both sequences and structure of their nuclear and mitochondrial genomes.
The differences between Ciona VDR/PXR and AncR1 at the ligand-binding residue positions may be explained by rapid evolution of the Ciona gene, as discussed above.
The results of this and other studies, however, suggest that invasion can also be facilitated by rapid evolution of clinal variation (Weber and Schmid 1998; Sexton et al. 2002; Maron et al. 2004).
These challenges are influ- enced by the rapid evolution of the web ecosystem composed by web technologies (e.g., HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript), user agents (e.g., web browsers) and devices (e.g., smart phones, tablets, televisions), and by the usage of the aforementioned technologies by users with different requirements, preferences and context of use.
This study has demonstrated that although pinniped carnivorans have distinctive cranial morphology to fissipeds, and relatively large disparity for their taxonomic age; this high disparity was not achieved by rapid evolution at the base of Pinnipedia, as would be predicted under an adaptive radiation model.
Although the Phanerozoic Eon represents only about the last one-eighth of time since the Earth's crust formed, its importance far exceeds its relatively short duration, because the eon is characterized by the rapid evolution of life, sometimes through cataclysmic mass extinction events, and other challenges.
Conventional design and optimization methods are being challenged by the rapid evolution of electronic and optical communication networks.
Computer simulations also demonstrated that this tends to generate smoother oscillatory dynamics than equivalent offspring numbers: it increases the probability of matching by facilitating rapid evolution of the parasite (data not shown).
Generally speaking, however, when it comes to proposals for new, particular biobanking models (prompted by the rapid evolution of this field due to its enormous potential), a problem still remains.
