Mechanisms of molecular evolution.
Both drift and selection are important for nucleotide substitutions in evolution. The nearly neutral theory was developed to clarify the effects of these processes. In this article, the nearly neutral theory is presented with special reference to the nature of weak selection. The mean selection coefficient is negative, and the variance is dependent on the environmental diversity. Some facts rel...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of bacteriocin evolution.
Microorganisms are engaged in a never-ending arms race. One consequence of this intense competition is the diversity of antimicrobial compounds that most species of bacteria produce. Surprisingly, little attention has been paid to the evolution of such extraordinary diversity. One class of antimicrobials, the bacteriocins, has received increasing attention because of the high levels of bacterio...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of colicin evolution.
This review explores features of the origin and evolution of colicins in Escherichia coli. First, the evolutionary relationships of 16 colicin and colicin-related proteins are inferred from amino acid and DNA sequence comparisons. These comparisons are employed to detail the evolutionary mechanisms involved in the origin and diversification of colicin clusters. Such mechanisms include movement ...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms driving Darwinian evolution
According to the Neodarwinian theory, biological evolution depends (1) on the availability of genetic variants, (2) on natural selection exerted on all available forms of life and (3) on geographical and reproductive isolation. The now available methodology of molecular genetics enables us to explore the molecular nature of genetic variation. It has become clear that many different molecular me...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Introduction: Pregnancy and health is the process in which the egg is fertilized and being able to survive. When pregnancy occurs under some conditions and the fetus is being at risk, it will lead to abortion that occurs involuntarily and spontaneously. Abortions that occur more than two or three times are called recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Various etiological factors involved in RPL, inclu...
