Sentence examples for molecular assumptions from inspiring English sources

This model is based on molecular assumptions and results in a second-order relation, ε = D1σ + D2σ2, where D1 is the linear and D2 the non-linear compliance component.

One possible explanation for this is that CYTB is known to violate molecular clock assumptions (Nabholz et al., 2008) and we make this assumption in calculating phenotype parameter values and branch lengths.

From molecular reductionist assumptions it also follows that scientific research is to be based on experiments that allow analysis of genetic influence in isolation.

The rate of substitution under strict molecular clock assumptions and constant population size was very similar, with a mean mutation rate of 1.81×10−4 (95% HPD 2.61×10−5 3.39×10−4).

A probabilistic calibration prior was used, which is favorable for dating in combination with relaxed molecular clock assumptions (39 ).

This test compares the log-likelihood of the ML trees under alternative molecular clock assumptions (i.e. a relaxed vs. an enforced molecular clock).

Three of the trees (AA, BB and AB) satisfied the molecular clock assumptions, while three trees (CC, DD and CD) did not.

However, recent work also shows that the simple molecular biological assumptions behind many of the evolutionary analysis methods limit their applicability.

We first performed a molecular-clock likelihood-ratio test (LRT) [ 83] by comparing the likelihood scores (lnL1 and lnL2) of the same tree constructed under alternative molecular clock assumptions (relaxed versus enforced molecular clock).

Many of these criticisms have become less relevant, however, with recent developments in phylogenetic dating methods that permit relaxing the molecular clock assumption, i.e., allowing rate heterogeneity across lineages (e.g., Drummond and Rambaut 2007), or incorporating the uncertainty in the fossil calibration through the use of probabilistic approaches (Ho 2007).

The program baseml was employed to analyze a molecular clock assumption.
