Yet the two pools of money are significantly different in size, in the diversity of recipients, in payment schedules and in legal requirements.
The addition of novel genes expands the functional diversity of the recipient genome, whereas genes whose presence is no longer required for survival can be deleted.
Although in both cases it seems likely that the foreign pseudogenes were converted by native functional homologs, the alternative scenario of native functional genes being converted by foreign genes is now certainly plausible (and indeed has just been reported [ 31]) and could lead to increased genetic diversity of the recipient mitochondrial genome and, possibly, even adaptive benefits.
Documented evidence shows that laterally acquired genes can transform an otherwise avirulent bacteria into a virulent form [ 24, 25], protect pathogenic bacteria against antibiotics [ 26], increase the metabolic diversity of the recipient bacteria [ 12, 27- 29] or confer on it abilities to explore new challenging niches [ 30, 31].
The committee also considers the diversity of the pool of recipients.
One entered as the child of a diversity visa recipient.
The data presented here demonstrate the utility of targeted sequence capture and massive parallel sequencing in detailed characterization of the genetic diversity of the donor and the recipient MHC repertoire.
Assignment of Arabis alpina and Carex rufina was not possible because of lack of genetic diversity, and five recipient island × species combinations had to be excluded because the direction could not be determined [see Supporting Information ].
Cecal transplants from conventional to germfree mice initially result in reduced diversity of the transplanted community in the recipient, followed by an explosion on E. coli growth.
The relevant lines are: "The Parties recognize the desirability of a wide variety of sources, public and private, bilateral and multilateral, including alternative sources, noting the need for a diversity of sources and instruments to fit recipients' changing economic circumstances.
