Sentence examples for evolved as a specific from inspiring English sources

Bayesian phylogenetic inference of bacterial α-N-methyltransferases suggests that they have not evolved as a specific group based on the chemical transformations they catalyze, but that they have been acquired from various other methyltransferase classes during evolution.

To our knowledge, this would be the first documented example of a parasite trait evolved as a specific adaptation to the more common host sex in nature.

The similar expression patterns of the two ABC transporters with that of zhd101 suggests that these C. rosea ABC transporters evolved as a specific mechanism to withstand ZEA, potentially by providing efflux of ZEA and/or its digested products.

Application of quantitative PCR has evolved as a sensitive, specific, and rapid method for the detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in amniotic fluid, blood, tissue samples, and cerebrospinal fluid.

Rather, it appears that IxAC evolved as a mammal-specific pathway for AP inhibition.

In addition to transcriptional activation, AP2 factors may act as suppressors of gene expression or have roles in regulating chromatin structure [79], [80] The apicomplexan AP2 domains are related to plant AP2 factors and have likely evolved as a major lineage specific expansion within the Alveolata from a single progenitor [21].

Over the last few years, RNAi has evolved as a new technology for specific gene knockdown that allows analysis of gene function in vitro and in vivo and the identification of new molecular targets associated with disease, such as cancer and inflammation [ 4- 7].

It is possible that lncRNAs may have evolved as a solution for allele-specific regulation of confined domains in several types of sex chromosomes.

Previous studies on protein-coding genes demonstrated that several paralogs, which evolved as a result of teleost-specific whole-genome duplication, had distinct pattern of expression and attained subfunctionalization, neofunctionalization, or loss of their function in the course of evolution (Brunet et al. 2006; Crow et al. 2006).

In summary, there are several well-known species that show clear plasticity of lifespan due to changes in gene expression and hormonal levels, which appear to have evolved as an adaptation to a specific environment and result in at least two distinct routes to death.

Reproductive success in wild barley under drought stress is not an ecotype-specific trait that evolved as a local adaptation, but appears to be a physiological adaptation which evolved similarly in different regions and which is characterized by an increased evolutionary flexibility.
