Our findings based on the results of the relative rate ratio test and maximum likelihood analysis suggest that each round of gene duplication is characterized by adaptive evolution, although instances of evolution under positive selection have been found also long after divergence of gene families.
This phenomenon was characterized by the evolution of wear kinetics associated with a significant variation of the corresponding energy wear coefficient.
So far, variational constitutive updates have been developed for different classes of standard dissipative solids, i.e., solids characterized by associative evolution equations and flow rules.
A grain-size dependence of hardening rate during parabolic (stage III) hardening is characterized by the evolution of net dislocation density in a finite element model of a polycrystal aggregate.
Among those genes characterized by rapid evolution and expressed in a restricted range of tissues, SSD was represented in a larger proportion than WGD.
This finding differed drastically from the properties of the ORs family, most often characterized by rapid evolution and highly species-specific gene repertoires [ 44, 45, 62].
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.
In late November 2007, a 36-year-old Italian woman was seen at Pordenone Hospital (northeastern Italy) for spider-bite like spider-bite likethe face, characterized by rapid evolution to furuncleskind smalesionsesses.
Samuele De Minicis (Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy) demonstrated the role of fibrosis as a cofactor in a new mouse model characterized by the evolution of NASH to liver cancer.
These receptors are among the most dynamic families of genes, gene gain and loss in this family is rapid (Niimura and Nei 2007) and characterized by adaptive evolution in protein-coding sequences (Goodman et al. 2009).
