Sentence examples for mediate ancestral functions from inspiring English sources

The strong conservation of the TSP-CTC suggests that it may mediate ancestral functions that are shared by all TSPs.

Indeed, as we discuss hereafter, our study shows that Notch signalling has originated by cooption of pan-eukaryotic ancestral genes; modification of ancestral functions by new protein-protein interactions (mediated by novel metazoan domains); lateral gene transfer; formation of new proteins by both exon shuffling and duplications + divergence.

It is thus often difficult to infer ancestral functions at different time points of the evolutionary process.

The third is subfunctionalization or 'duplication-degeneration-complementation' whereby the original ancestral functions are partitioned between the duplicate genes.

In total, we defined 34 Possible Groups of Orthologues (PoGOs), which may represent 34 ancestral functions in angiosperms.

Thus it seems that carbon fixation pathways of the FAPs also did not arise by co-option from ancestral functions.

Subfunctionalization, the partitioning of ancestral functions, is the loss of different ancestral functions in different descendants.

Phylogenetic methods, for example, have been developed for inferring ancestral expression profiles or ancestral functions of homologs.

-- What those ancestral functions might be, as opposed to derived functions of the other family members?

Another possibility is that sim-LHR or mel-LHR has lost ancestral functions.

"They burn the bridge to return back to the ancestral function," Thornton says.
