Sentence examples for reconstructing evolution from inspiring English sources

p.3: The authors wrote: If every daughter cell's membrane kept track of who its parent was, reconstructing evolution would be a trivial task.

I feel that this is a bit misleading, it would inform us on a part of evolution: If every daughter cell's membrane kept track of who its parent was, reconstructing evolution of cell divisions would be a trivial task.

Specifically Mason and coworkers reconstructed evolution of the KAP-α family, determining the presence of an ancient KAP-α1/KAP-α1-like subfamily with evidence for lineage-specific expansion into KAP-α2 and KAP-α3 forms in the Opisthokonta and further expansions and secondary losses in Metazoa [5].

To reconstruct evolution within Cuvierina and to provide a phylogenetic perspective of outgroup relationships, 30 Cuvierina sequences were compared to other Cavoliniid taxa.

To determine the relative contribution of intron loss and gain to these patterns, we used previously published methods [ 17, 18] to reconstruct evolution.

Similar methods can be applied to reconstruct evolution of other features for which orthologous relationships can be established, e.g. intron positions in eukaryotic genes.
