Sentence examples for instances of parallel from inspiring English sources
Instances of parallel ecotypic divergence where adaptation to similar conditions repeatedly cause similar phenotypic changes in closely related organisms are especially useful for disentangling the respective roles of drift and natural selection in shaping genomic divergence among genomes and for studying the genes underlying local adaptation7.
We observed great variety in the numbers and types of mutations that occurred, including instances of parallel mutations at targets that may have been "rationalized" by the bioengineer, plus other "illogical" mutations that demonstrate the ability of evolution to expose unforeseen optimization solutions.
The phylogeny suggests instances of parallel evolution, as well as highly unequal rates of morphological divergence in different lineages.
This suggests instances of parallel evolution, as well as cases of both highly conserved morphological evolution and strong morphological divergence.
Finally, despite concerted evolution within coding sequences, multiple instances of parallel amino acid substitutions indicate some degree of functional divergence between gene duplicates.
Therefore it is not known if competitive interactions between species have resulted in repeated instances of parallel morphological evolution in this system.
It first introduces HGAs, a particular instance of parallel GAs based on the notion of interconnected sub-populations evolving independently.
To determine if Astyanax cavefish represent an instance of parallel evolution, Strecker et al. (2012) performed a population-level analysis of seven cave and seven surface populations.
Moreover, despite sharing the same "non-shattering" mutation at the sh4 locus [ 18], the two major U.S. weedy rice populations -- SH and BHA -- have separate origins, and may have acquired the shattering phenotype in mechanistically different ways, representing a separate instance of parallel evolution.
We find several instances of independent parallel transfers of genes.
Several instances of rapid parallel evolution of similar proteins, apparently driven by positive selection, have been observed (e. g., [ 4, 5]).
