When both sexes seek outside mates but return to bring up offspring in a social group (as whales do), ageing females also derive an increasing evolutionary benefit from offering help.
Both the pairwise transition (TS) and transversion (TV) differences for each partition increase with increasing evolutionary distance.
It showed only a gradual decrease in reconstruction accuracy with increasing evolutionary divergence, being significantly more accurate than any other method tested.
It is now widely accepted that a molecular clock tends to hold well for closely related organisms, but breaks down with increasing evolutionary divergence.
Results vary with increasing evolutionary age of the species in question.
The number of identified serpin genes decreases uniformly with increasing evolutionary separation from D. melanogaster.
Genome coverage of nucleotide level alignments shrinks dramatically with increasing evolutionary distance.
These analyses revealed multiple aligned regions that decreased in size with increasing evolutionary distance.
Our analysis showed a successive increase of highly divergent genes with increasing evolutionary distance.
As hypothesized, the sequences from which the overgos were designed became more critical with increasing evolutionary distance from O. sativa.
Panel B of Figure 2 shows the mean and standard deviation for percent of genes detected at increasing evolutionary distances.
