Sentence examples for functional convergent from inspiring English sources

Verweij, M. C. et al. Viral inhibition of the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP): a striking example of functional convergent evolution.

Functional convergent genomics approaches, which use a set of candidate genes identified in gene expression-based relevant models [17], [18], [19], have been successful to identify new genes for schizophrenia, antipsychotic induced weight gain and bipolar disorders [20], [21], [22].

In order to broaden the study of BDNF in cognitive traits, we chose to develop a functional convergent genomics approach to characterise genes up-regulated by BDNF, and their implication in cognition.

In this perspective, it is also interesting to notice that in two recent studies of functional convergent genomics for bipolar affective disorder [22] and a genome wide scan for personality traits [54], both BDNF and DCLK1 (a.k.a. DCAMKL1 in these reports) were ranked as strong candidates.

The proton transport capacity of snake channel D may therefore have substantially decreased in the ancestral lineage leading to all snakes, but regained some capacity in all descendant lineages due to multiple reversion, convergent or distinctive replacements, and apparent structural functional convergent changes (Figure 3A).

To explore the phylogenetic relationships of the major lizards, characterize the mechanisms of adaptation to high altitude in P. erythrurus, and determine whether there was any evidence of functional convergent evolution among highland-dwelling poikilotherms, we downloaded sequence data for five lizard species, three amphibians, and the zebra fish as an outgroup.

Correspondingly, derivatives of hexaethylbenzene have their functional groups convergent (meta as in 1,3,5-trisubstituted-2,4,6-triethylbenzene) or divergent (ortho, para as in 1,2-disubstituted-3,4,5,6-tetraethylbenzenes or 1,4-disubstituted-2,3,5,6-tetraethylbenzenes) due to this cooperative conformational network.

Therefore, the signal in these pseudogenes will not convolute ancestral and functional (sometimes convergent) signal as is prone to happen in gene family evolution.

At a functional level convergent evidence shows that rACC has a primary role in processing emotional information and regulating emotional responses (Bush et al. 2000).

Our finding suggests a functional (phenotypic) convergent evolution between humans and Rana kukunoris, although the genes behind the functional adaptation are different (but belong to the same gene family).

Rather the phenomena of functional redundant, convergent, and parallel evolution is more appropriately viewed as a hierarchy in which the evolution of similar functions (adaptive or otherwise) are achieved through increasingly specific ways (function only → function through similar phenotypes → function through similar phenotypes generated from similar genetic changes; see [ 3]).
