Sentence examples for driver of adaptation from inspiring English sources

The evolution of regulatory elements is often considered to be the prime driver of adaptation.

Regulation of gene expression is a key driver of adaptation of living systems to changes in the environment and to external stimuli.

We postulate that genomic rearrangements are a driver of adaptation in organisms that are not engaged in conventional sex (Figs. 1 and 4).

Epistasis is a fundamental component of complex trait variation that may be an important driver of adaptation, but such effects are difficult to quantify because of the computational burden of testing all possible pairwise interactions for hundreds or thousands of loci (Phillips 2008).

There are of course a number of competing selective pressures acting on human populations (as well as a bottle neck in population size that can contribute to fixation of slightly deleterious mutations), and while pathogen load has been proposed as the most dominant driver of adaptation in the human lineage [ 70], cancer selection has a distinct possibility as a contributing factor [ 69, 73].

Temperature and day length are the main environmental regulators of flowering and drivers of adaptation in temperate cereals.

Extreme weather events/impacts and recognising opportunities have been identified in other work as key drivers of adaptation, for example, in the development of National Adaptation Strategies in Europe (Biesbroek et al. 2010), and in driving institutional adaptation action in the UK (Tompkins et al. 2010).

In the first strategy, to identify potential drivers of adaptation, we focused on non-synonymous SNPs that were homozygous for a genotype not found in the progenitor strain that persisted in the subsequent isolates (e.g., G/T > A/A) consistent with positive selection.

The second is the realization that imitation (diffusion) through networks of connections is a primary driver of organizational adaptation.

Typically, the primary driver of this adaptation is high basal mutation rates.

Woodburn [ 21] postulated a stress shielding mechanism may be the driver of gait adaptation with walking speeds decreased in attempt to lower stress at the Achilles tendon.
