This suggests that full-sib mating has been fairly ineffective at removing variation.
This could be explained by a selective sweep having occurred near RISP in copepods from the Santa Cruz region removing variation in this gene.
Reduced polymorphism in regions of low recombination combined with a regional correlation between dN/dS values and both genic and intergenic polymorphism suggests that purifying selection is removing variation through background selection.
P-values were obtained using the "Anova" function of the "car" package [ 32] with type II sums of squares (main effects tested without removing variation attributed to interaction terms).
Using the four remaining variables and removing variation due to habitat type alone produced a significant model for (square root transformed) mean earthworm biomass per sample site (Type III sums of squares GLM: F = 5.096, df = 8,82, P < 0.0001).
To guarantee steam balance when the operating turbines were removed, variations in steam extraction turbines were needed.
The constant increase in gene coverage provided by reference catalogues should eventually remove variations of gene mapping between samples.
For example, high degree of freedom splines routinely fit peaks during summer heat waves, which removes variations in deaths we want attributable to temperature.
Following alignment, the recovered miRNA counts need to be normalized to remove variations in the data that are of non-biological origins and can affect the measured abundance levels.
The cleaning of data removes variation from the process, so that the team can get a good clean look at the process, the common variation and the potential of the system.
