Sentence examples for weakly selected from inspiring English sources

Evolutionary biologists are more interested to understand the role of mutation and/or selection in the violation of ISP by analyzing the weakly selected or selectively neutral regions (third position of family box codons and non-coding regions) in chromosomes.

To test explanation (3) we looked at the relative powers of the LRTs using simulations with a weakly selected positive selection class (ω distribution of 40% ω = 0, 40% ω = 0.25, 10% ω = 1.0 and 10% ω = 1.5).

Silent site polymorphisms may be particularly informative because they are probably under weak selection, and weakly selected sites are expected to be most sensitive to changes in Ne (McVean and Charlesworth 1999).

Recurrent hitchhiking is also predicted to reduce the efficacy of natural selection against very weakly selected sites, such as synonymous sites experiencing codon bias selection [ 41, 42].

Linkage among weakly selected sites with opposing selective forces can also interfere with the ability of selection to act efficiently [ 5].

These two groups [(i) and (ii)] are putatively selected; because the ongoing migration [ 33] didn't eliminate them, and (iii) 14 TEs showed small or no inter-slope differences, putatively with equal fitness (= neutral") or only weakly selected, so that the selection doesn't overrule the migration.

The second hypothesis invokes Hill-Robertson interference [ 22], which considers the reduction in selective efficacy due to linkage among sites: weakly or strongly selected sites that evolve adaptively or under constraints may affect evolutionary dynamics of linked sites.

A chromatographic method based on a steady state sinusoidally varying input concentration has been developed and applied to the analysis of experimental data for some selected weakly adsorbing systems.

Adaptation under linkage confounds the standard population-genetic inference of selection based on the statistics of polymorphisms and substitutions, because it reduces the statistical differences between weakly and strongly selected genomic changes.

One important consequence of this finding is that, even in the same demographic scenario, the probability of observing soft sweeps can differ substantially for weakly and strongly selected alleles.

We also calculated Z ∗ = L o g 10 ((D N + 1 ) (P S + 1 ) (D S + 1 ) (P N + 1 ) ), as in Presgraves (2005), the sign of which is more intuitive; negative values are consistent with an excess of weakly deleterious (negatively selected) polymorphisms and positive values are consistent with an excess of advantageous (positively selected) substitutions.
