Sentence examples for molecular variation that from inspiring English sources

Here we uncover the molecular variation that causes melanism in P. maniculatus from New Hampshire and show that the Agouti gene is responsible.

Except in the case of the Udvardy model, geographic distance accounted for very little (<2%) of the molecular variation that remained once the best model was fitted to the regression, implying that phenotypic and the more detailed biogeographic models already take most of the geographic variation into account.

Therefore, each form of genome-wide data may be reflecting unique and meaningful molecular variation that may impact future growth patterns.

Variation in copy number of specific genomic regions may be an additional aspect of molecular variation that, although invisible to AFLP markers, could form the basis of adaptation to different environmental conditions [ 33].

Given this broad host range, it is not surprising that differences in host plant utilization among M. persicae lineages are quite common, and efforts have been made to identify molecular variation that correlates with host range and reproductive life cycle [ 9, 10].

In this paper, we investigate two potential correlates of molecular rate variation that may, in this way, help to explain the discrepancy between molecular and fossil dates of the metazoan radiation.

The majority of studies on closely related coral taxa have had difficulty resolving closely related taxa, in part because mitochondrial markers evolve unusually slowly in Anthozoa [22] [24], and in part because the scale of morphological and molecular genetic variation that corresponds to species as opposed to populations is not well understood.

Patterns of molecular variation suggest that genomic differentiation in barbels generally starts in allopatry.

Interestingly, although the analysis of molecular variation suggests that outcrossing via males is rare in nature [ 33- 35], outcrossing rates exceeding those expected under mutation-genetic drift equilibrium are frequently observed when populations are maintained in the laboratory under novel conditions [ 36- 38].

When Charles Darwin wrote The Origin of Species, no data existed that could inform him of the molecular nature of genetic variation that fuels evolutionary change.

Identification of the genetic loci responsible for phenotypic variation in adult root phenotypes may identify the molecular basis for adaptive variation that exists in this species and potentially identify loci that are useful for breeding efforts needed for the next green revolution.
