Based on our preconceptions (reflexivity principle) and on the iterative discussions performed until the theoretical saturation point was reached, the analysis issues were consolidated eventually into three main categories, namely driving forces for selection of RTI interventions, programmatic characteristics of interventions, and monitoring and evaluation aspects.
Thus vitamin D status rather than cholesterol level is more likely to be a driving force for natural selection.
Therefore, they may be the source of an important driving force for the selection of quinolone resistance.
These dynamic and evolving miRNAs could serve as a driving force for the selection of improved and novel traits in plants.
Although angiogenesis appears to take centre stage as a driving force for positive selection in the ANG gene, it is still possible that there are other processes contributing to selective pressures.
Of note, most of these V(D J sequences have nucleotide additions and/or deletions in the CDR3 junction (Table 3), indicating that the driving force for the selection may include, but is certainly not restricted to the germline rearrangement.
Along with the recent shared history between dogs and humans, in particular adopting an agricultural based living condition, large changes in the food source for dogs, during the transition from being a carnivore to an omnivore, might have been the driving force for the positive selection for these types of genes24.
A lack of understanding of the role of random or stochastic processes in biology becomes even more important when applied to the topic of evolution: students believe that evolution requires a driving force, for example, that natural selection could not occur through random processes because they equate random with purposeless.
Our comparison of indices of population differentiation in quantitative traits (QST of length, weight and survival) and neutral genetic divergence (FST of microsatellite markers) showed that divergent directional selection was the driving force for reaching different optima in length, weight and survival at 17°C in our stickleback populations (QST > FST).
In this study, we found that positive Darwinian selection is a driving force for the functional divergence of OryzaTPS1.
