"The divergence in the degree of assimilation of technologies started about 100 years ago," observed Diego Comin of Harvard Business School, one of the authors.
Therefore, if TNPO3 is comprised of two subfamilies, this lesser degree of divergence in plants and higher degree of divergence in Opisthokonta potentially reflects differing selective forces between the eukaryotic lineages.
We find additional evidence for mouse lemur lineage divergence in the striking degree of concordance between mtDNA clades and patterns of nuclear population genetic structure.
Thus, the degree of divergence in mtDNA does not predict the degree of RI between parental populations, whereas average divergence across nuclear markers does.
The difference between the brightness of the exterior and central part of a Timema's body ('brightness contrast') is under strong divergent selection between hosts (Ceanothus versus Adenostoma) [71], and the degree of divergence in this trait thus represents one measure of the degree of divergent host-plant adaptation.
First, variation in degree of divergence of different gene lineages after the unibacterial/gracilicute split, secondly the loss of a large number of negibacteria-associated genes when the ancestral posibacterium evolved from a negibacterial ancestor after the posibacterial and fusobacterial lineages diverged; Mira et al. identified 28 such clusters of genes [ 80].
The high degree of sequence divergence in these divergent regions compromises alignment of short reads.
In total, 49 5' RACE sequences and 84 3'RACE sequences were obtained from four isolates of f. sp. hordei and one isolate of f. sp. tritici, revealing considerable divergence in their length and degree of homology with AVRk1 (Table 1).
However, it should also be noted that genes displaying a high degree of divergence in the GS lineage are also the most diverged when comparing WB and P15.
The degree of divergence in the last isolate approached the 1% cut-off level defining VDPV.
Our results also point to a higher degree of interaction divergence in those interactome nodes that show divergent duplication history, perhaps related to selective pressure by species-specific pathogen types.
