Sentence examples for defined inheritance from inspiring English sources

Jablonka and Lamb characterize four broadly defined inheritance systems: two fairly specific inheritance systems — the genetic inheritance system and the symbolic inheritance system found in human languages — and two classes of inheritance systems — cellular and organismal epigenetic inheritance systems and behavioral inheritance systems.

We defined inheritance scales to reflect the difference in modes of inheritance among the loci used: 0.25 for the mtDNA locus, 0.75 for the Z-linked locus and 1.0 for the two autosomal loci.

As the phenotype of interest becomes more narrowly defined, its inheritance becomes increasingly tractable [1], [15].

We have previously defined nongenetic inheritance as the transmission to offspring of components of the parental phenotype or environment, which can be regarded as the 'interpretative machinery' of gene expression (Bonduriansky and Day 2009; Day and Bonduriansky 2011).

Extending the notion of ecological inheritance to the realm of development, Odling-Smee (2010, p. 181) defines niche inheritance as the inheritance of an initial organism-environment relationship, or "niche," from ancestors.

Ecological inheritance is defined as the inheritance of selection pressures that were modified by niche construction activities (Odling-Smee 2010, p. 176).

SNPs between the parental lines were used to define the inheritance of alleles in the hybrids.

The problems with using an aggregated or consensus signal to define vertical inheritance are twofold.

We define the inheritance network for each duplicon as the subgraph induced on the edges on which that duplicon is passed from parent to child.

To define the inheritance states of neighboring SNVs in the family quartet, Dewey et al. first used a heuristic algorithm that binned allele assortments, followed by a HMM in which the hidden states corresponded to the four possible inheritance states in the quartet and the two error states described by Roach et al. [ 64].

For any two alleles a and b in a pedigree at a SNP site, we define an inheritance-generating function: where λℓ is the number of all possible inheritance paths of length ℓ between a and b.
