Sentence examples for facilitated evolution of from inspiring English sources

The proliferation of such proteins with regulatory and interaction-mediating functions may have facilitated evolution of organismal complexity in higher eukaryotes.

In the case of mystacinids, a lack of native terrestrial mammalian predators in NZ has been hypothesised to have facilitated evolution of terrestriality [e.g. [ 1, 9, 11, 17]].

If this is true, then the loss of the RIP pathway and resulting retro-transposon driven genome expansion could have conferred a selective advantage and facilitated evolution of powdery mildew fungi by potentiating proliferation of effector proteins.

In mammals, we propose that precocious commitment of cells to the germ line by Blimping facilitated evolution of the embryological innovations that are found in mice and other rodents, which led to enhanced speciation and the accelerated embryogenesis that is characteristic of mice.

Since conventional screening methods suffer from low throughput and limited target metabolites, a universal high-throughput screening platform for selection of improved strains should be developed to facilitate evolution of metabolite high producer.

Interestingly, the Wnt signaling and cadherin-based adhesion functions of β-catenin have coexisted at least as far back as the origin of animals [1] (though C. elegans is a notable exception [2]), with coordination of these roles by a single protein perhaps facilitating evolution of the first multicellular organisms.

More specifically, gene copy number facilitates evolution of new variants of a gene and can also affect transcription levels [ 31].

Considering that proteins in this gene family originate from organisms living in low-nutrient environments, it is possible that the observed insertions would facilitate evolution of a more efficient ammonium transporter.
