Sentence examples for mutation rate yet from inspiring English sources

Yet in a startling counterpoint to the notion of the tuatara as a holdover from Triassic Park, researchers lately have discovered that a few regions of tuatara DNA appear to be evolving at hyperspeed, possibly the fastest mutation rate yet clocked in a vertebrate genome.

The study by Davila et al. [ 3] contributes a potentially decisive argument by connecting the plant mtDNA mutation rate to yet another intriguing feature of this organellar genome-recombination. Unlike in animal mitochondria, recombination is widespread in plant mtDNA.

For example, the lead author's own paper on swallows [ 23] states that 10 unattributable bands were found among 5271 scored (page 355, 'DNA fingerprinting'), giving a mutation rate of 10/5271 = 0.0019, yet the figure that appears in MC Supplementary material table one is 0.0026.

Our result shows that in the limit of small mutation rate, the solution remains regular in the spatial variables and yet concentrates in the trait variable and forms a Dirac mass supported at the lowest diffusion rate.

Mutate the gene values in the selected chromosomes with the mutation rate.

If the deleterious mutation rate is too high, asexuals will quickly go extinct.

The argument is that organisms with a deleterious mutation rate above a certain threshold must reproduce sexually.

It is conceivable, therefore, that when a population faces environmental challenges, it would be advantageous to accelerate the mutation rate.

This constant rate is the mutation rate for neutral alleles.

Hence the appropriation from biology of the term "mutation rate".

For a brief review of evolutionary phenomena that may be driven by the deleterious mutation rate, see Kondrashov, A. S. 2001.
