Moreover, pleiotropic constraints due to the cumulative effect of mutations in the insulin/Tor and/or interacting pathways cannot be the sole cause underlying this pattern of selection because such selective constraints would be expected to affect protein sequence evolution only.
Additionally, B4galnt2 has an interesting pattern of selection in the mouse population that we will discuss towards the end.
This raises the possibility that the set of findings reported in this subsection could be due to a pattern of selection of immigration rather than the impact of culture or social capital.
A non-uniform pattern of selection for patches with higher structural connectivity at the local scale, but not at the broader scale, was likely a result of the "empty forest" phenomenon, in which remnant patches were inaccessible in this fragmented landscape.
Fig. 4 shows the age pattern of selection predicted by equation (1).
Therefore, taken as a whole, the data obtained from the tag SNPs points that there is not a general pattern of selection for the different CNVs herein identified.
We identified the pattern of selection inherent in DDX3X at a per site basis by employing maximum likelihood based evolutionary models.
Investigations of the patterns of genomic diversity adjacent to each of these loci would provide insights into any obvious pattern of selection around these genes.
Although this pattern of selection is not as strong in the older physical science paradigm (PS81), the blue versus black lines in Figure 3c show apparent groupings of words by selected frequencies.
Although some electrophysiological differences in protein function were found between the two forms in TRPV6, these differences were not statistically-significant. Thus, while functional consequences of the variation at TRPV6 and the underlying selective force remain to be determined, this study does advance our knowledge about the temporal and spatial pattern of selection on TRPV6.
In other cases, such as PLAG1, a more complex pattern of selection arises.
