In addition to the above-discussed low inter-tissue diversification, another characteristic feature of the genomic DNA methylation profiles of the MRL/MpJ mouse, we found, is an enhanced proportion of high methylation peaks (with the values of 4.0 and over) in comparison with the C57BL/6J (Fig. 5).
Therefore, we infer that the large number of genes in subgroup II-2 might be closely related to the diversification of development characteristics of land plants by altering their sequence and expression patterns.
As a result, generations of arrowheads might arise as adaptations, showing the gradual refinement and diversification that is characteristic of human cultural traditions (Richerson and Boyd 2005: 115).
Next to household and demographic characteristics, livelihood diversification, which mainly belongs to absorptive capacity, describes the resilience of households towards flood disasters in the study area.
Over the years, timber investments have gained interest from both institutional and retail investors for their diversification and inflation hedging characteristics, and as a sound alternative to stocks and bonds.
Streelman and Danley [3] suggest that species diversity can only be fully realized after a third phase of radiation, diversification in secondary sexual characteristics associated with reproduction.
Asking questions about how genomic characteristics underpin diversification is primarily a theoretical exercise one that works at solving a fundamental question in biology.
Despite this, closely related Symbiodinium types often relate to distinct ecological diversification and influence functional characteristics such as photosynthetic efficiency, growth or thermal tolerance of the host [ 7, 15, 16].
Alternatively, if New Caledonia was completely submerged after its breakup from Gondwana, as geological evidence indicates, we would expect species diversification to show a characteristic slowdown over time according to a diversity-dependent model where species accumulation decreases as space is filled.
