Our research hypothesis is that there are diverging sets of biological background assumptions in the ongoing scientific debate concerning whether GM stacks are novel transgenic entities or not.
However, many evidence-based, cost-effective interventions fail to capture the attention of decision-makers who ostensibly operate on diverging sets of cultures, interests, and imperatives [ 7].
The observed quantitative differences in the binding preferences may result in different affinities toward specific binding site sequences, but not in diverging sets of target sites within a given genome.
Consequently, characteristic topological patterns are expected to evolve in the gene trees of a diverging lineage long before the evolution of monophyly, and these patterns can be used to distinguish independent and recently diverged sets of populations [16], [17].
Comparison of the updated expression measures of the slightly diverging probe sets shown in Figure 8 after verification leaves the small systematic biases essentially unchanged (data not shown).
We found that orthologous pairs with putative immune function are significantly more diverged than the total set of all 1∶1 An. gambiae An.
A similar set of diverged secretory syntaxins has been described recently in Trichoderma reesei [ 81], which also belongs to the Pezizomycotina.
Molecular functions that were found to be under-represented in the set of diverged genes include GTPase and ATPase activities, NADH dehydrogenase activity, hydrogen ion transport activity, and acid-amino acid ligase activity as well as general ligase activity.
With data from mixed sources, the sequences for each target node can be aligned in a ranked order; on the other hand, the graph representation of reconstructed sequences tolerates inconsistencies between subsequent alignments and the algorithm can resolve conflicting gap patterns among a set of diverged sequences.
Under this model of evolution, two diverging lineages have the same set of covarions immediately after divergence but, with time passing, the overlap between the sets of covarions progressively decreases.
