We were interested in directly assessing the relative contributions of effects mediated by the translation rate and intrinsic structural-functional constraints to the evolution rates of protein sequences.
Our aim in this study was to use multivariate techniques to assess the potential for genetic constraints to the evolution of four life history traits in a wild population of red deer (C. elaphus) on the Isle of Rum, Scotland.
Teplitsky et al. 's (2014) analysis suggests multivariate constraints to the evolution of morphological traits in wild avian populations, but this appears to be due to antagonistic selection on positively genetically correlated traits.
The segmentation of the G2 and S phases is accomplished using level sets, and we designed a model-based shape/size constraint to control the evolution of the level set.
Its conservation defines a constraint to the magnetic field evolution.
Behavioural syndromes may either indicate constraints to the independent evolution of behaviours or suites of functionally integrated behaviours favoured by selection [ 12], i.e. coping strategies.
The outcome of these studies provide constraints to understand the evolution of the Earth-Moon system and inner solar system (e.g., Lucey et al. 2006; Stöffler et al. 2006).
There may be constraints to the co-evolution of different sperm quality traits since sperm are costly to produce [46] [50].
In the case of GPCRs, it emphasizes the usefulness of rare mutational events, such as indels or mutations of residues with strong structural and/or functional constraints, to infer the evolution of protein families.
These results indicate that the contributions of translation-rate related factors and intrinsic structural-functional constraints to the rate of protein sequence evolution are comparable.
