objective(s):eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4e (eif4e) is overexpressed in cervical cancer (cc). however, the molecular mechanisms are unclear. this study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of eif4e gene overexpression in cc. materials andmethods:the human papillomavirus (hpv) type 18 e7 and eif4e mrnas were measured following knock down or overexpression of e7 gene by rt-pc...

Variable selection pressures across heterogeneous landscapes can lead to local adaptation of populations. The extent of local adaptation depends on the interplay between natural selection and gene flow, but the nature of this relationship is complex. Gene flow can constrain local adaptation by eroding differentiation driven by natural selection, or local adaptation can itself constrain gene flo...
