Sentence examples for multiple independent populations from inspiring English sources

This extensive study, involving multiple independent populations, provides the first evidence that genetic variants in LRP8 may contribute to the development of premature and familial CAD and MI.

Multiple independent populations were compared with the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn's multiple comparison tests.

To date, only the TERC locus has been identified and replicated in multiple independent populations for its association with telomere length [51], [52].

To directly test the relative contributions of chance and necessity to adaptive radiations, replication is essential, but difficult to achieve [3], [11] because it would require that there are (or were) multiple independent populations introduced into new locales conducive to adaptive radiation.

Both HMGCR exon 13 skipping and LDLR exon 12 skipping are influenced by cis-acting SNPs [3], [4], [6] that have been found in genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) to contribute to inter-individual variation in plasma LDL-cholesterol in multiple independent populations [3], [6], [10], [11].

Strengths of the study include its large sample size, with findings confirmed in multiple independent populations, and having the vitamin D phenotype measured with good precision.

Studies finding morphological differences between populations in different habitats typically infer that divergent selection has caused local adaptation and this inference is particularly robust when the differences are parallel (or convergent) across multiple independent population pairs (Schluter 2000; Langerhans and DeWitt 2004).

Ecological genomic studies in sticklebacks have shown very convincingly that the evolution of multiple independent freshwater populations from a marine ancestor have involved parallel genetic changes (Colosimo et al. 2004; Cresko et al. 2004; Hohenlohe et al. 2010).

Of these, only one (0.22%) was a replicated outlier in multiple independent dune-fen population comparisons and thus possibly reflecting truly parallel divergence.

Multiple independent pairwise comparisons of populations submitted to the same ecological constraints in different geographic areas allow confirmation of the involvement of a putative outlier in adaptation to contrasting situations, in our case alternative host-plants.

Under this perspective, a complex demographic model, incorporating multiple independent derivations of domesticated populations from wild boar followed by inbreeding and recent admixture among them, is likely needed to account for the observed low haplotype diversity [ 7, 17, 32].
