Sentences with phrase «frequency of resistance genes»
The researchers then observed how the frequency of resistance genes changed over six generations of mosquitoes — a process, biologists refer to as «microevolution.»

Conclusions / significance: Taken together, the microsatellite and both insecticide resistance target - site markers provide evidence that in the face of intense gene flow among populations, disjunction in resistance frequencies arise due to intense local selection pressures despite an absence of insecticidal control interventions targeting Culex.
The restricted sequencing depth will thus affect the statistical power of detecting less abundant resistance genes as well as assessing the frequencies of chromosomal mutations known to cause resistance.
A current project that could benefit, for example, is work with collaborators that explores how gene frequencies change and how unique genetic events such as the evolution of partial malarial resistance evolved in inhabitants of the island of Sardinia.
