  • Ohno [ 1 ] theorized that newly duplicated genes were freed from the constraints of natural selection, implicating a dominant role of genetic drift in their early evolutionary dynamics. (biomedcentral.com)
  • About 5% of the world's population carries genes responsible for haemoglobinopathies. (who.int)
  • This process causes gene frequencies in a population to drift around over time. (berkeley.edu)
  • Some genes may even "drift out" of a population (i.e., just by chance, some gene may reach a frequency of zero). (berkeley.edu)
  • All of the genes in a population. (berkeley.edu)
  • Simulation results were compared to genetic analyses and matched estimates of the real population very well. (ufz.de)
  • They arrived at three very important results, two of which were made possible only by the use of samples from a population that is highly mixed in terms of ethnicity and ancestry. (indiatimes.com)
  • Based on the product of single gene variant odds ratios, the risk of developing asthma was assigned to genotype profiles, and the frequency of each profile was estimated for the general population. (cdc.gov)
  • Our hypothesis was that gene editing is a more efficient method than conventional breeding for decreasing the horned allele frequency in Jersey cattle, while keeping inbreeding at acceptable levels and maintaining genetic progress. (usda.gov)
  • These results confirm our hypothesis that gene editing of the polled locus could be used to effectively address dairy producers' economic concerns, while also alleviating consumers' animal welfare concerns. (usda.gov)
  • In the principal hypothesis of the arms-race, the mutation of R genes and AVR genes is derived by directional selection. (researchsquare.com)
  • 3) However, sexual selection is usually described as the product of genetic models, particularly 'linkage disequilibrium ' (8) in which a 'gene for' a trait is located near a presumed 'gene for an attraction to' that same trait. (behavior.net)
  • However, sensory mechanisms could reduce or eliminate the role of a 'gene for an attraction to' whatever trait is under consideration. (behavior.net)
  • The data suggest that exo + polymerase-mediated 3′ terminal phosphorothioate-modified primer extension is reliable in the identification of SLC26A4 gene high-frequency variant prior to high-resolution CT scan. (springeropen.com)
  • However, researchers lead by Kei Morikawa, St. Marianna University School of Medicine, Japan today reported data that the success rate of gene analysis using cytological specimens was extremely high, and the yield and quality of the extracted nucleic acid were also sufficient for panel analysis.
