The reason why internal proteins mediating core biological functions possess such widespread areas of non-globular domain experiencing minimal purifying selection remains obscure but our data are certainly consistent with these sequences representing a downstream consequence of genetic processes [ 13, 26] such as replication slippage and unequal crossing over [ 27].
Contributing also to a reduction in effective outcrossing, C. elegans possesses a widespread genetic incompatibility system, whereby a sperm poison (PEEL-1) arrests the development of embryos that do not synthesize the antidote (ZEEL-1) (Seidel et al., 2008, 2011).
But neither Fiorina nor Carson, who have only outside chances of winning the nomination, possess the sort of widespread support among party officials and large fundraising bases enjoyed by top-tier hopefuls.
John Whittingdale, the Tory chairman of the Commons culture select committee, named a series of News International executives who had told his committee that only one reporter was responsible for phone hacking while police possessed evidence of widespread illegality.
Diatoms, which are one of the most common types of phytoplankton and are widespread in oceans, possess CAs fundamental for acquisition of inorganic carbon.
Wilson and Kaufman[15] noted previously that seamounts deeper and closer to the continental margin would possess a greater percentage of "widespread to cosmopolitan species".
These ants – comprising the subfamilies Aenictinae, Dorylinae, and Ecitoninae – are by far the largest and most widespread group to possess the army ant syndrome of traits described above (nomadic colonies, mass group foraging, and highly modified queens) [ 9, 10].
CA-MRSA strains carry unique drug resistance genes, and widespread clinical experience suggests they may possess increased virulence compared to most HA-MRSA.
Giorgio Vallortigara, a neuroscientist at the University of Trento said: "It is an interesting study that provides some empirical support to the idea, quite widespread among dog owners, that these animals possess some sort of equivalent of jealousy behaviour".
There's widespread consensus that the Islamic State does not possess the capabilities to shoot down the plane from its cruising altitude of 30,000 feet.
