Sentences with phrase «compared human variations»

The researchers used the very large survey of human genetic variation called HapMap for their analysis, which compared human variations with the chimpanzee genome.

Not exact matches

The presumed duration of the whole human development (a few million years) is so trifling compared with the extent of astronomic time, even at the lowest estimate, that the chance of a variation of the solar equilibrium while the anthropogenesis is in process may be ignored.

Being nice «The great complexity of human social interactions and the huge variation in what we find rewarding compared with other primates prompts questions about whether the anterior cingulate gyrus operates similarly in the human brain,» Matthew Apps and Narender Ramnani, who work on neuroimaging and human cognition at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK, told Nature in an email.

They also compared the human genomes with recently sequenced genomes of Neanderthals and Denisovans and found similar genetic variation, which indicates that the facial variation in modern humans must have originated prior to the split between these different lineages.

A powerful and broader way to look for an effect of human genetic variation on the microbiome is to compare twins.

There's always something interesting — setting aside the fact that these astronomical variations are minuscule compared to the rate of the current human contribution to climate change, there's plenty of interesting science.

We did not associate runs of homozygosity in English bulldogs with characteristic phenotypic traits but are confident based on previous studies that the greater genomic variation in English bulldogs compared to Standard Poodles reflected stronger human - directed selection in the former breed than in the latter.

Precise mapping of major loci responsible for trait variation has been accomplished with relatively small numbers of dogs as compared to the large numbers of individuals required for trait identification in genetically diverse human populations.

If human effects are small or even of a similar order compared to natural variation, then every dollar we spend trying to mitigate climate change is a dollar thrown away.

... incomplete and misleading because it 1) omits any mention of several of the most important aspects of the potential relationships between hurricanes and global warming, including rainfall, sea level, and storm surge; 2) leaves the impression that there is no significant connection between recent climate change caused by human activities and hurricane characteristics and impacts; and 3) does not take full account of the significance of recently identified trends and variations in tropical storms in causing impacts as compared to increasing societal vulnerability.

Compared with natural factors that influence climate (including solar variation and volcanic eruptions), human activities — primarily burning fossil fuels and deforestation — have been a major contributor to climate change over the last 50 years.
