Sentence examples for for strongly selected from inspiring English sources

Therefore, the reliabilities reported in this study might underestimate the reliability for a random group of bulls, especially for strongly selected traits.

Only short-term demographic changes encountered during the fixation event matter for strongly selected alleles, whereas slower changes affect only weakly selected alleles.

When temporally stratified DNA samples are available, Birth Date Selection Mapping is an effective method for the identification of strongly selected loci.

The LCT locus on chromosome 2q21.3 is known for being strongly selected during human evolution, with the lactase persistence allele varying in frequency in different populations and even between geographic regions [55].

Although we have only validated the technique for a strongly selected and previously characterized trait, theoretically it is transferrable to nearly any species that has some genomic or transcriptomic reference data against which reads may be aligned, whose breeding may be manipulated for the generation of specific populations for linkage mapping.

"Lloyd views female orgasm as an ontogenetic leftover; women have orgasms because the urogenital neurophysiology for orgasm is so strongly selected for in males that this developmental blueprint gets expressed in females without affecting fitness" and this is similar to "males hav[ing] nipples that serve no fitness-related function," stated Meredith L. Chivers.

This finding might argue that although differential gene loss on different chromosomal regions is permitted following a WGD through genetic redundancy of cis-regulatory elements, the overall constancy of gene number is strongly selected for by balancing selection at least for transcription factors such as ParaHox genes.

Well-established theories of sexual selection maintain that traits which are favorable in mate choice will be strongly selected for, even if natural selection does not favor these traits.

One important consequence of this finding is that, even in the same demographic scenario, the probability of observing soft sweeps can differ substantially for weakly and strongly selected alleles.

Indeed, T2 was strongly selected for, while genetic trends for T4 showed no selection pressure in any direction (Fig.  4).

This region contains the POLL locus [ 6] for which this breed has been strongly selected for homozygosity of the POLL allele [ 38].
