Sentence examples for mutation rate but from inspiring English sources

The pace of adaptation depends not only on genomic mutation rate but also on the rate of replication and final population size of those genomes (Moya et al. 2004).

Analysis of the C. savignyi genome found little evidence to support an elevated mutation rate, but rather points to a large population size contributing to the polymorphism level.

However, this explanation is unlikely because the selective advantage is not dependent on the mutation rate but on the difference in growth rate between the wild type and the variant strain and there is no reason why this difference should be positively dependent on viral load.

Equally important, Earl and Deem's study showed that different mutation rates can be selected for in different environments; this implies that there is not necessarily an optimum mutation rate, but rather that different evolvability characteristics can be optimal under different circumstances.

Expected pu:up fixation ratios are equal to the new u:v ratios immediately following a change in the mutation rate, but the fixation ratios gradually approach the equilibrium value of one (rates of approach to equilibrium are positive functions of initial MCU).

There is a correlation between allele size and mutation rate, but no bias toward multistep mutations.

The confounding signals resulting from these different forces can be minimized to some extent, e.g., by marker choice (ignoring selection) or by assuming steady mutation rates, but genetic drift and gene flow are more difficult to address.

McGowen and colleagues thought this would mean the dolphin's genome would have rapid mutation rates, but they found the opposite.

Thus, we must consider that we did not evolve to deal with these carcinogenic insults, which not only increase mutation rates but also can alter selective pressures (thus promoting somatic cell evolution).

All of the antioxidants helped reduce the mutation rates, but the clear winner turned out to be the most abundant antioxidant in green tea, known as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).

polo and polo-dup2 are subjected to similar mutation rates but different amino acid constraints (Table 1).
