Sentence examples for the study of mutation from inspiring English sources
By doing so he ignores fifty years of progress in molecular clock techniques in general and the study of mutation rates for cytochrome c in particular.2.
Julian Huxley, one of the founders of the modern synthesis of evolution, appreciated the importance for evolution of the study of genes in development—"a study of genes during development is as essential for an understanding of evolution as are the study of mutation and selection" (Huxley 1942, p. 8)—but even Huxley neglected to incorporate development into evolutionary theory.
Therefore, the usual practice in the study of mutation signatures has been to not distinguish complementary mutations, but rather to group them together.
Moreover, as S. cerevisiae is also a model for the study of mutation, I compare the mutation spectrum at centromeres to those expected under different modes of DNA repair.
Supportive evidence can be collected for instance via the study of mutation rates: communities dependent on cooperation in an open environment should have a smaller number of mutants as compared to the same community in a well-mixed (i.e. globally communicating) environment.
Exacerbating this problem is the finding that sites in the genome previously thought to be essentially free of selection, such as those in intronic regions, intergenic regions and fourfold redundant codon positions are, in fact, often constrained by selection, making the study of mutation at these sites biased by selection (Andolfatto 2005; Hershberg and Petrov 2008).
Classical genetics, the study of mutations and how they are inherited, has uncovered the rules governing interactions between the components of living things even without understanding the precise molecular nature of these components.
The study of mutations in human genes is nevertheless of paramount importance for understanding the pathophysiology of inherited disorders, for optimizing diagnostic testing and guiding the design of emergent therapies.
Application to the study of mutations causing hereditary elliptocytosis.
Our genetic approach is the study of mutations in a critical adapter molecule, LAT.
The study of mutations within the Orc1 BAH domain also indicates the connection between ORC and chromatin modifications [ 52].
