Change the articulation and you change the claim even if substitutions are synonymous.
Next, Church argues, it is plausible to suppose that C2, even if not completely synonymous with C3, is at least so close to C3 "so as to ensure its having the same denotation".
But even if "tribal" might be synonymous with intense rivalry in such a case, that's a result of patriarchy, not tribal identity per se — and the ethnic fluidity of 50percentt of the population must still be taken into account.
Says Victor Germack, RateFinancials' president: "Ultimately, investors are trusting the Chinese government to do what's best for them, even if it's not synonymous with its own interests". Good luck.
Even if the rate of synonymous substitutions in the clpP1 gene for the Sileneae species with generally elevated substitution rates appears higher than that of other chloroplast genes for the same taxa (Fig. 3), most of the total substitution rate increase can be ascribed to non-synonymous substitutions.
If synonymous mutations, and even more so mutations at 4D sites, follow a neutral mode of evolution, we would expect no significant difference in average μS between functional categories (Additional file 4).
This finding suggested that the overall distribution of the 20 amino acids might be consistent with the overall distribution of the synonymous codons, even if individual amino acid frequencies showed differences to the frequencies of their synonymous codon.
When selection on codon bias is weak, theory shows that it has only small effects on the rate of synonymous substitutions even if the effects on codon usage can be significant [ 25].
For the last decade, the Diplomats have been synonymous with Harlem — even if some of its members have moved elsewhere.
The influence of population size changes on tests based on synonymous and non synonymous variations appears to be weak, even if not fully understood [ 35].
Unfortunately, phenomenology is often mistaken to be synonymous with experience.2 Even if there is a weak sense in which this characterization is correct, it is nevertheless inaccurate.
