Within evolutionary biology, design can also be used to indicate a driving force of evolutionary change not in response to a designer, or an internal directional force such as orthogenesis, but in response to directional selection, as might be found in signal-receiver systems.
In this sense, the abundance of TE families can be considered to be a by-product of the population dynamics of the species whose genomes bear the elements rather than a driving force of evolutionary innovation (Jurka et al. Biol Direct 2011 6 44).
In the genomic era with its current dramatic tools of NGS, the mysteries of genome structure, expression, and regulation under environmental stress can be elucidated and highlight the driving forces of the twin evolutionary processes of genome adaptation and speciation.
By deriving the substitution process from basic principles of population genetics, their aim is to bridge the gap between population genetics and phylogenetics, and thus to offer a better understanding of the driving forces of the long term evolutionary process.
Understanding the driving forces of speciation processes is a primary goal of evolutionary biology [ 1].
Transposable elements (TE) are one of the major driving forces of genome evolution, raising the question of the long-term dynamics underlying their evolutionary success.
Gene duplication is one of the driving forces of evolution.
There are two chief driving forces of the demographic transition.
Evolution in health and medicine Sackler colloquium: stochastic epigenetic variation as a driving force of development, evolutionary adaptation, and disease.
The CIR involves the distribution of signals in an environment that an organism can potentially respond to, underscoring an increased complexity and heterogeneity of marine ecosystems, which may have played a major role as a driving force of further evolutionary change during the Cambrian.
