Sentence examples for localized selection from inspiring English sources

For example, the presence of the Zea specialist leafhopper Dalbulus maidis is thought to depend on the local abundance of maize and proximity to bodies of water (Medina et al. 2012), and Moeller and Tiffin (2008) hypothesize localized selection pressure in herbivory as an explanation for evidence of local adaptation in their sequence analysis of immunity genes in parviglumis.

The localized selection scheme chooses one parent, and consists of data generated by the descendant nodes of node in addition to the data generated by node.

In particular, differences in the availability of prey between locations may lead to location-specific dietary specializations and localized selection pressures on venoms.

Thus the significant differences in allelic frequencies at conotoxin locus E1 are unlikely to be solely due to neutral mechanisms (i.e., drift) and so localized selection pressures may have contributed to the genetic differentiation of this locus at these locations.

Consistent with the importance of localized selection pressures, we note that many of our FFT outliers, which show less overlap with other methods, nonetheless exhibit patterns of haplotype sharing suggestive of recent positive selection.

However, no specific set of loci have been agreed upon as a standard, and the allelic diversity of loci can vary from country to country and between M. tuberculosis complex species, requiring localized selection of suitable loci.

In addition, we were able to localize selection for the virulent subtype IbA10G2 to a 129-kb region surrounding gp60 in chromosome 6.

Myo15 The overall image which emerges from analysing the Tecta data (the Tecta, Tecta exon 7, Tecta exon 9 and Tecta exons 18 19 data sets) is of a gene that is primarily under a high degree of purifying selection, but with highly localized positive selection occurring on a small number of sites.

On the other hand, SNPs with very high levels of differentiation between populations exhibit high FST values, which is suggestive of geographically localized positive selection that drives allele to high frequency in some but not all the populations between which FST is measured (Weir and Cockerham 1984; Barreiro et al. 2008; Holsinger and Weir 2009; Keinan and Reich 2010).

Indeed, all of the PAC detected base changes and SNPs were centrally localized within the probe set selection region and overlap with several of its individual probes (Fig. 5).

Despite using known mapping approaches, it has often been difficult to localize historical selection events for complex traits (Kemper et al. 2014).
