ISs are small and mobile genetic elements that are ubiquitously distributed within bacterial genomes, and play an important role in evolution by facilitating horizontal gene transfers between bacterial populations, which contribute significantly to the diversity of bacteria by enhancing the organisms' adaptive and evolutionary capacities.
In fact, the very idea of the genotypic error threshold reinforces this conclusion, as the loss of the genetic information of the master phenotypes has not critical consequences for their existence or evolutionary capacities.
The Evolutionary Capacity of Protein Structures.
This type of analysis provides vital information regarding the fitness of different genetic lesions with and without therapy, which may be immensely beneficial to the design of the next generation of therapeutic approaches to overcome the evolutionary capacity of cancer.
We point out that the environmental heterogeneity and evolutionary capacity of tumor cells that likely led to development of upregulated glycolysis could also promote adaptive strategies that confer resistance to therapies designed to inhibit glucose metabolism.
The last chapter starts with with the reflection, well worth reading however obvious it may seem once read, that the Cambrian explosion must reflect a match between environmental opportunity and the functional ability and evolutionary capacity of organisms to exploit it (p. 320).
It is widely accepted that the efficient evolutionary capacity of IAV is facilitated by its highly error-prone replication process [1], [2].
It is widely accepted that the highly error prone replication process of influenza A virus (IAV), together with viral genome assortment, facilitates the efficient evolutionary capacity of IAV.
Site characteristics and site history are predicted to influence evolutionary capacity [6] [7], [20] [22], and the results of our study indicate that detailed studies of remnant native species occurring in sites with differing sizes, disturbance histories, and/or gene flow may be able to determine the field conditions that promote rapid evolutionary change.
Additionally, factors such as the strength of selection, time since invasion, number of selection agents, population size, life history characteristics (e.g. mating system, lifespan, and time to reproduction), and gene flow are likely to affect evolutionary capacity of particular populations [6], [20] [22].
The higher reproductive potential of Myomorpha increases their evolutionary capacity.
