Sentence examples for gene descent from inspiring English sources

Since our method is based on similarity of protein sequences rather than inference of patterns of gene descent, it does not explicitly address the issue of in-paralogs and out-paralogs that have been explored by several ortholog prediction approaches [6], [10] and filtering algorithms [45].

Genes that perform the same role in human cells and in bacterial cells, say, may have a recognizably similar spelling of their DNA letters, reflecting the genes' descent from a common ancestor.

Because relatives share common genes by descent, natural selection can favor genes that enable individuals to help their relatives to reproduce successfully (e.g., Hamilton 1964).

However, evolution can also flow in the opposite direction, as recently evidenced by the loss of virulence genes and descent of the commensal Streptococcus mitis from the pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae [37].

A randomly drawn pair of individuals shared 1.2% of their genes by descent, indicating that most pairs have a low degree of relationship.

Given this phylogeny, it is simplest to assume that Trimastix inherited its enolase gene by vertical descent.

For variable genes, monophyly indicates a scenario of gene appearance and descent; paraphyly, one or more instances of gene loss; and polyphyly, multiple LGT events.

Orthologs evolve from a common ancestral gene via vertical descent (speciation), while paralogs evolve by duplication events taking place after speciation [ 1].

We suggest that the data presented here comprise a credible phylogeny of RNA editing for a gene, graphically illustrating descent with modification.

A core set of 694 genes with vertical descent signal that are resistant to horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is used to reconstruct a robust organismal phylogeny.

GSNR selects m genes in the descent order, and the best subset of genes is selected based on a predefined description.
