"genetic route" is a valid and usable phrase in written English.
It refers to the path or sequence of genetic information that is passed down from one generation to the next. Example: The scientist mapped out the genetic route of the disease, tracing how it was inherited through multiple generations.
The DNA changes in the mammoth hemoglobin genes differ from those in other arctic animals, an instance of convergent evolution or attaining the same end by a different genetic route.
The availability of naturally resistant Arabidopsis accessions also provides a potential genetic route to identifying the molecular target.
A genetic route by which retinoid signaling may be altered in the hippocampus is through mutation of the retinoid carrier protein retinol binding protein (RBP, also called RBP4).
If the same phenotypic solution can arise from a genotype devoid of the typically used genetic route, then it is clear that evolution has more options at its disposal than are typically realized.
Determining which advanced generation hybrid cross types also facilitate introgression can aid in the identification of potential cross type genetic route(s) of introgression following sunflower crop wild hybridization.
The findings suggest that Europeans and East Asians acquired their pale skin through different genetic routes and, in the case of Europeans, perhaps as recently as around 7,000 years ago.
While it is generally expected, and often observed, that closely related populations or species have parallel genetic bases to parallel phenotypes, exceptions are not rare and show that alternative genetic routes can result in similar phenotypes.
With so many distantly related insects finding the same genetic routes to milkweed tolerance, the team concludes that evolution is repeatable although gene duplication can also open up new evolutionary opportunities.
The characterisation of the amphioxus Gli gene demonstrates that two different chordate lineages have used different genetic routes to evolve an increased complexity of transcription factor capability downstream of hedgehog signalling.
Progression of colorectal cancer may follow either of two main genetic routes: the chromosome- or microsatellite-instability pathways.
These results provide evidence for both genetic parallelism and multiple genetic routes underlying parallel phenotypic evolution in fish shape among populations occupying similar ecological niches.
