Sentence examples for directly selected for from inspiring English sources
Whereas male-limited evolution "masculinised" the genome without making it more harming, our selection regime directly selected for components of interlocus conflict and led to the evolution of mate-harm.
Thus, it is conceivable that selection has directly selected for increased noise as a bet hedging strategy for a subset of promoters, and more recent theoretical work shows that increasing gene expression noise may indeed increase population growth rates in some scenarios (Tanase-Nicola and ten Wolde, 2008).
Gould and Lewontin thus defined "spandrels" in the evolutionary biology context, to mean any biological feature of an organism that arises as a necessary side consequence of other features, which is not directly selected for by natural selection.
Other titans of the field, such as Pinker, believe language is like any other complex faculty and that it was directly selected for.
These are genes which really are directly selected for their own physical qualities, not for their effects on the physical qualities of the cells that surround them.
Our experimental conditions directly selected for increased fitness.
Furthermore, it appears that the optimal selection directly selects for a set of "representative" patterns within the data, due to their correspondence with the local maxima.
Herein we present a detailed strand displacement based selection protocol to directly select for RNA molecules with switching activity.
Although the vector is amplified by PCR using a high-fidelity polymerase, mutation(s) could occur during the amplification; however, the cloning system directly selects for function of essential vector components (i.e. selectable marker, origin of replication).
However, the ability to directly select for conformational changes upon ligand binding has remained elusive.
The ability to directly select for expression of very rare EBO-pcD clones and to then recover these episomes should make it possible to clone certain genes where hybridization and immunological screening methods are not applicable but where a phenotype can be scored or selected in human cell lines.
