Sentences with phrase «natural hybridization»

The difference between de-extinction and hybridization is that natural hybridization would introduce both trait mutations and silent mutations into a lineage randomly.

We have used genome - wide data and a population genetic approach to dissect the genetic basis of reproductive isolation in the European rabbit by taking advantage of natural hybridization between subspecies in the Iberian Peninsula.

Natural hybridization has been extensively studied in the last few years revealing the mosaic nature of gene flow across species boundaries [11].

The difference between de-extinction and hybridization is that natural hybridization would introduce both trait mutations and silent mutations into a lineage randomly.

The level of discordance among the nuclear and mitochondrial markers from the three species, the authors assert, is best explained as an instance of natural hybridization.

In a molecular analysis including the closely related spinner and striped dolphins, scientists conclude that the clymene dolphin is the product of natural hybridization, a process that is more common for plants, fishes, and birds, but quite rare in mammals.

Yet, advancements in genomic testing tools have revealed naturally occurring hybridization as a fairly common phenomenon — with a role in natural selection, in some cases.

Instead, gene variants will need to be introduced by hybridization with other diverse strains of S. cerevisiae, says Borneman, such as those found in natural fermentations of African palm wine and other environmental isolates.

It turns out that within five to 11 generations of fish (about 25 to 50 years), the foreign genes introduced into wild populations through hybridization are removed by natural selection.

The researchers then compared survival rates and physical characteristics to determine whether hybridization affects a fish's potential to adapt after multiple generations of natural selection in the wild.

Many people think GMO's are natural and the process is commonly compared to hybridization.

Hybridization is crossing different species of plants via a natural -LSB-...]

There are lots of other changes this represents too, such as the presence of chemicals in our food supply (pesticides, herbicides, xenoestrogens, etc) that didn't exist in the ancient diet, as well as the dramatic changes caused by hybridization of many of our foods, which creates versions of fruits and vegetables bred more for size, sweetness, and appearance as opposed to natural nutrition... this aspect has decreased micronutrient content in the modern day food supply (just look at wild blueberries vs cultivated blueberries as an example of that with wild berries coming in at more than DOUBLE the antioxidants from ORAC testing).
