Sentence examples for evolutionary manipulation from inspiring English sources

Genetic algorithms, evolutionary programming, evolution strategies, and genetic programming have a number of qualities in common, all evolve solutions, all utilize some kind of selection based on survival of the fittest, and all invoke some sort of evolutionary manipulation such as crossover or mutation.

Conversely, we show that interruption of large-scale domain structure is rare, and we suggest that instead of local sequence divergence, evolutionary manipulation of global chromosomal topologies is driven by processes involving duplications or rearrangements such as inversions, insertions/deletions, and translocations.

Indeed, these same communities may also be more susceptible to proactive eco-evolutionary manipulation than in the more integrated and redundant structures of deeply coevolved native communities.

The features that make an organism particularly valuable as a model include ease of growth, availability of experimental tools (e.g., genetic manipulation), evolutionary relationship to other organisms of interest (e.g., human, crops, pathogens, etc)., and presence of interesting phenotypes.

Sequence manipulation and evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA5.

Active manipulations of natural processes always entail some risk of unanticipated consequences, and manipulation of evolutionary processes is no exception.

In the case of manipulation, the evolutionary trajectories of offspring traits are indirectly driven through selection on alleles associated with maternal behavior (Craig 1979).

In this review, we aim to illustrate the potential conservation benefits of an increased understanding of evolutionary history and prescriptive manipulation of three basic evolutionary factors: selection, variation, and gene flow.

Understanding the evolutionary forces behind these manipulations provides not only new insights into viral evolution, but can form the basis for new empirical work on baculoviruses and research on the use of these viruses as biocontrol agents.

Understanding the genetic basis of complex phenotypes, i.e. genetic architecture, is of fundamental importance both for modeling evolutionary change and for genetic manipulation of crop plants.

Superimposing the biological properties of this lineage onto a phylogeny of Wolbachia and closely related genera indicates that this reproductive manipulation is an evolutionary novelty.
