Sentence examples for trait coding from inspiring English sources

Using alternative trait coding, genomic regions on chromosome 17 and 20 were also identified as being involved in the development of SNT with their own supernumerary mammary gland tissue.

In the framework of the above theory and its marginal benefit consequence, the conclusion would be that the Limousin and Angus breeds are genetically more different than are the Angus and Brahman breeds, with this difference including different trait coding QTL, inversion of LD phases, fixed SNPs, and SNPs in linkage equilibrium with trait coding QTL.

Across-breed prediction has its theoretical basis in the finding that the LD between SNPs persists over much longer genome distances within breed than across breeds, and in the assumption that trait coding QTL are the same across breeds.

Thus, the number of genotyped individuals in the reference population might exceed the total number of genotyped individuals in any single breed, which may allow for a higher power to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) with trait coding quantitative trait loci (QTL).

A stable trait is a trait coded by many genes that are interchangeable in their effect.

Considering ecological traits coded in Figure 5, the mycetophagy and/or facultative ectophytoparasitism are likely to be ancestral in the Tylenchida.

Work remains to explore influences on student conceptions of gene regulation and gene expression and student understanding of potential mechanisms by which traits coded for by recessive alleles could be masked in heterozygotes.

Interlocus sexual conflict occurs when traits coded by alleles at different loci evolved so that it enhances the reproductive success in individuals from one sex at the cost of the fitness of their mating partners (Chapman et al. 2003; Bonduriansky and Chenoweth 2009).

Our observation that social traits coded in E. coli are frequent in the environment and overrepresented in its mobile elements opens the possibility of kin selection (defined as the process by which inclusive fitness is maximized [32]) among these organisms, broadening the conceptual framework for the evolutionary study of between-species mutualisms [55].

For example, students may have difficulty understanding how deleterious dominant alleles, such as those responsible for Huntington's chorea, could be retained in a population (Cortopassi, 2002), or mistakenly assume that traits coded for by recessive alleles in human populations, such as blond hair, are "dying out" (BBC News, 2002).

Here, we develop an individual-based eco-genetic model (Dunlop et al. 2009b) with gametic inheritance of traits coded by finite numbers of loci and alleles per locus, so that some alleles can be lost due to selection and/or drift.
