Sentence examples for molecular evolution due from inspiring English sources

Members of the Bovini undoubtedly have undergone positive selection due to adaptation to their environments and therefore should show signatures of adaptive molecular evolution due to natural selection.

The two remaining candidate clades in our study exhibit high levels of nucleotide substitution, suggesting accelerated molecular evolution due to relaxed purifying selection or smaller effective population size, which is typical of many vertically transmitted insect symbionts.

It has been suggested that marine organisms may have consistently different rates of molecular evolution due to, for example, larger effective population sizes [ 48] or a direct effect of salt concentration on mutation rates [ 49].

The study of gene duplications continues to be at the forefront of molecular evolution due to their likely role in the emergence of new functions (Bridges 1936; Ohno 1970; Conant and Wolfe 2008; Ponting 2008; Hahn 2009; Innan and Kondrashov 2010).

Here, we have studied ten mammal TLR genes in order to look for evidence of positive selection and to further clarify if viral and non-viral TLRs display different patterns of molecular evolution due to the different nature of the PAMPs they recognize.

This positive relationship suggests that the correlation between diversification and rates of molecular evolution is due to a process of enhanced speciation rates in faster-evolving lineages, rather than decreased extinction.

It has been suggested that plant lineages at low latitudes have increased rates of molecular evolution, potentially due to the mutagenic effect of UV radiation, or to higher growth rates and faster generation turnover [ 53- 55].

Probabilistic modelling of sequence evolution has become the norm in phylogenetic inference, but complex evolutionary models are often not used in studies on molecular evolution, in part due to their increased computational burden but mainly due to the absence of such models in popular model testing tools [ 1].

This section discusses some of ACAGATATA's limitations as a model for teaching molecular evolution, precluding pitfalls due to misconceptions on which skills the game intends to exercise.

It is widely assumed that all domesticated lineages were established less than 15,000 years ago, so any detectable effects of domestication on molecular evolution must be due to recent changes having a significant and measurable impact on molecular evolution.

The chloroplast (cp) genome has long been a focus of research in plant molecular evolution and systematics due to its small size, high copy number, conservation and extensive characterization at the molecular level [ 1].
