As more human genomes from different populations are sequenced, it will be exciting to see if any traits are associated with carrying the mutated versus
ancestral version of polymorphic HARs.
The comparatively colorful forest morphs are likely
the ancestral version of the species, which evolved as Africa's southern forests shrank.
So you're doing the work in yeast and you are looking at this particular gene construct and
an ancestral version of it.
The special attributes of
the ancestral versions of these enzyme superfamlies, and the self - reinforcing feedback system they would have formed with the first genes and proteins, would have kick - started early biology and driven the first life forms toward greater diversity and complexity, the researchers said.
As part of varied approaches at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) to unleash the power of wheat biodiversity, researchers from India and Mexico have been mobilizing native diversity from
ancestral versions of wheat and related grasses to heighten the crop's resilience to dryness and heat — conditions that have held back wheat yields for several decades and will worsen as earth's climate changes.
They reasoned that if a virus had largely co-diverged with its host, evolving right alongside it, then the virus's phylogenetic tree should resemble its host's:
ancestral versions of the virus ought to have infected the host's ancestors.

version and become indispensable.
