To speculate on the evolutionary orders of the rice OsOPT family, we considered protein sequence similarities with SpISP4 (Table 1), dates of the gene appearance (Table 2), rice genome evolutionary events (Krom and Ramakrishna [2010]), etc.
Binding dependencies were then listed as "rules" that constrain a set of permitted linear evolutionary orders (PLEOs).
The usual number given is 10, listed chronologically, as if in evolutionary order.
I'm not convinced he spends as much time thinking his place in the social and evolutionary order as London's animals do, either.
Yoon marshals evidence for the near universality of the classifying instinct, which yields a "vision of the natural order" that "often stands in direct conflict with a scientific and evolutionary ordering of life".
And the images, lined up edge to edge in a solid row running across two walls, appear to be arranged in no evolutionary order, with no hidden hierarchies or even mutual connections.
That our offspring might pass away before we do is an affront to our humanness, to our sense of evolutionary order — a terrifying reminder, as the British biologist Julian Huxley once put it, of "the persistence of chance and its amorality in human life".
In the phylogenetic tree, the CYP3 genes of Cephalochordata, Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, Actinopterygii and Tetrapoda clustered into independent clades, generally following the evolutionary order.
The lower diagonal of Table 3 shows the similarity measure between species, which are sorted based on their descending evolutionary order from human to E. coli.
Given this model, we produce a probabilistic evolutionary ordering of the universally conserved small subunit (SSU) and large subunit (LSU) ribosomal proteins.
Results were compiled per protein, producing a matrix which indicates the probability of each subunit protein being used at any given position in the linear ordering of LSU or SSU proteins, corresponding to its relative position in evolutionary time, the "ribosomal evolutionary order" or REO (Figure 2).
