This principle of identifying generically advantageous initial states is a general property of empowerment.
We postulate that scFv phagemid library formats with short linkers (i.e. multimeric scFvs) may, in general, be advantageous in selections for the generation of scFvs against carbohydrate epitopes or other epitopes associated with low intrinsic affinity per binding site), and expect that they will be superior in applications for diagnosis or therapy.
The "status quo" meant that gene function was already close to its optimum in general, and advantageous mutations were extremely rare.
Self-incompatibility is, in general, evolutionarily advantageous, because it promotes cross-fertilization, and thus inbreeding depression avoidance.
Although earlier ocean entry in general appears advantageous for this population, barged fish typically have lower adult return rates than naturally migrating fish (Williams et al. 2005).
The DMFE is highly variable between species or genomic regions and also highly dependent on environmental conditions [ 22, 23] but, as a general trend, advantageous mutations leading to increased fitness are rare and sensitivity to mutation is higher in viral genomes compared to that of more complex cellular genomes [ 24– 27].
The long-term maintenance of the duplicates may be attributable to sub-/neo-functionalization of their gene functions [ 8, 42- 44] in general, although advantageous effect of the increase of gene dosage by duplication may also contribute to the duplicate gene persistence [ 45].
For example, the application of the analytical methods (general perturbations) becomes advantageous when a large number of satellite orbits have to be predicted simultaneously.
Such an approach is deemed, in general, to be advantageous compared to categorical distributions [ 28, 29] because it involves no loss of information.
