Sentence examples for multiple primate lineages from inspiring English sources
The gene copy number analysis showed that there had been parallel gene duplications/losses in multiple primate lineages.
We showed that there had been parallel RHOXF2 duplications and/or losses along multiple primate lineages, which were likely mediated by the flanking ERVs.
Our results suggest that there has been repeated selection on the cis-regulatory regions of some sexual maturity-related genes in multiple primate lineages.
As the major function of RHOXF2 in primates is male reproduction, we speculate that the observed strong selection in multiple primate lineages is likely to be related to sperm competition in promiscuous mating systems [ 49, 50].
Taken together, during the evolution of primates, along with parallel gene duplications and/or losses, positive selection has been acting on multiple primate lineages leading to the rapid protein sequence changes of RHOXF2.
Our analysis of TRIM52 evolution reveals its age and birth via a partial duplication of the TRIM41 gene, followed by independent loss or pseudogenization of TRIM52 in multiple mammalian and primate lineages.
Since the divergence of the rodent and primate lineages, multiple substitutions might have occurred at the same site of a pair of mouse human orthologs independently in two lineages.
We recently identified 41 human gene families that have experienced multiple gene duplications since the divergence of rodent and primate lineages [ 11].
Among the primate lineages, the mouse lemur (a prosimian monkey in Strepsirrhini) possesses only one copy, where there are multiple gene copies in Haplorrhini (New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, apes and humans).
The data thus are very much as would be expected from accelerated mutation and substitution rates within primate lineages.
Using this molecular clock, divergence dates for the major primate lineages have suggested that primates evolved more than 80 90 mya, nearly 40 million years before the first primates appear in the fossil record.
