Sentences with phrase «ancestral genome sizes»

Using Eq 2 and solving for GA with extant genome sizes from Table 1 and gain and loss rates calculated by the recent transposon method (Table 2), we get estimated ancestral genome sizes of 2.64 Gb and 2.66 Gb for human and mouse respectively.

For human and mouse they solved the equation for GL where they estimated ancestral genome size within a range similar to the extant human genome size.

Not exact matches

The researchers speculate that the genome swelled in size as T. vaginalis made the bold move from its ancestral home in the gut to its new domain in the genitals, a migration that is also entirely mysterious.

They used the following equation; (2) where GE is the size of the extant genome, GA is the size of the ancestral genome, GG is the amount of lineage - specific genome gain and GL is the amount of lineage - specific genome loss.
