This demonstrates that structural motifs involved in rRNA folding and function are evolutionary degrees of freedom.
These analyses demonstrate that entire rRNA substructures and unpaired adenosines, i.e., rRNA structural motifs which are involved in rRNA folding and function, are evolutionary degrees of freedom.
These results demonstrate that an organism's evolutionary pathway is correlated and possibly also causally coordinated with insertions or deletions of entire rRNA substructures and unpaired adenosines, i.e., these structural motifs which are involved in rRNA folding and function are evolutionary degrees of freedom.
Variation in evolutionary rates (degree of gradualism, constancy through the tree) and/or non-random macroecological sampling probably lead here to differences in the phylogenetic structure of niche components.
As illustrated in Supplementary Figure S2, the co-evolutionary network consists of 35 COGs with high number of co-evolutionary partners (degree ⩾50) and 536 COGs with multiple co-evolutionary partners (degree ⩾10).
Figure 4A shows the correlation and partial correlation (correcting for expression level variation) coefficients between evolutionary rate and degree for the 20%, 40 %, 60 and 80%and80%tworksubnetworksions and partial correlations and measured using Kendall's rank correlation coefficient, τ.
The results show in which settings and up to what degree evolutionary algorithms can be parallelized efficiently.
Along similar lines, recent work by Santos et al. [36], [40] suggests a connection between the emergence of cooperation and the evolutionary appearance of degree heterogeneity.
Several processes other than simple heterogeneity in evolutionary rates and degree of niche diversification may influence the patterns we report.
Recently, we constructed a large-scale, quantitative model relating residue evolutionary rate to degree of burial for yeast soluble proteins (Franzosa and Xia 2009).
