Culture adaptation of malaria parasites selects for convergent loss-of-function mutants
Cultured human pathogens may differ significantly from source populations. To investigate the genetic basis of laboratory adaptation in malaria parasites, clinical Plasmodium falciparum isolates were sampled from patients and cultured in vitro for up to three months. Genome sequence analysis was performed on multiple culture time point samples from six monoclonal isolates, and single nucleotide...
متن کاملHow Computer Selects Antecedent?
1. Introduction This study provides a computer-simulated optimal selection of antecedent of reflexive pronouns based on the Visual C++ computer programming language. The algorithm that I use for this implementation is based on the optimal theoretic approach to the proper interpretation of reflexive pronoun roughly adopted in Moon (1999). I show that the complex behavior of reflexive pronouns ca...
متن کاملCaptivity selects for smaller eyes
combination of kinetic proofreading and induced fit in tRNA selection provides a suitable balance between fidelity and rapid elongation rates. If we take the simplest case of kinetic proofreading, where there are no differences in forward rate constants introduced by induced fit — where k 3 and k 5 are equivalent for both cognate and near-cognate tRNAs — significant discrimination between cogna...
متن کاملEavesdropping selects for conspicuous signals
Animal communication signals generally evolve to become increasingly conspicuous for intended receivers [1]. However, such conspicuous signals are also more susceptible to eavesdropping, i.e. exploitation by unintended receivers [2]. It is typically thought that eavesdroppers harm signalers and select against conspicuous signals [3]. But, if signal conspicuousness deters eavesdroppers by indica...
متن کاملLethal gene drive selects inbreeding
The use of ’selfish’ gene drive systems to suppress or even extinguish populations has been proposed on theoretical grounds for almost half a century. Creating these genes has recently become possible with CRISPR technology. One seemingly feasible approach, originally proposed by Burt, is to create a homing endonuclease gene (HEG) that inserts into an essential gene, enabling heterozygote viabi...
