Patterns and Evolutionary Consequences of Pleiotropy
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2023 Pleiotropy refers to the phenomenon of one gene or one mutation affecting multiple phenotypic traits. While the concept of pleiotropy is as old as Mendelian genetics, functional genomics has finally allowed the first glimpses of the extent of pleiotropy for a large fraction of genes in a genome. After describing conceptual and operational difficulties

EVOLUTIONARY PATTERNS AMONG MEASURES OF AGING [PDF]
Experimental Gerontology, 1996 Maximum lifespan has been one of the most common aging measures in comparative studies, while the Gompertz model has recently attracted both proponents and critics of its capacity to adequately describe the acceleration of mortality in the oldest age classes.

An Evolutionary Approach for Gene Expression Patterns [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine, 2004 This study presents an evolutionary algorithm, called a heterogeneous selection genetic algorithm (HeSGA), for analyzing the patterns of gene expression on microarray data. Microarray technologies have provided the means to monitor the expression levels of a large number of genes simultaneously.

Evolutionary Diversity Peaks at Mid-Elevations Along an Amazon-to-Andes Elevation Gradient
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Elevation gradients present enigmatic diversity patterns, with trends often dependent on the dimension of diversity considered. However, focus is often on patterns of taxonomic diversity and interactions between diversity gradients and evolutionary ...

Evolving Evolutionary Algorithms with Patterns [PDF]
Soft Computing, 2006 A new model for evolving Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) is proposed in this paper. The model is based on the Multi Expression Programming (MEP) technique. Each MEP chromosome encodes an evolutionary pattern that is repeatedly used for generating the individuals of a new generation. The evolved pattern is embedded into a standard evolutionary scheme that

Nonapeptides and the evolutionary patterning of sociality [PDF]
, 2008 Neuropeptides of the arginine vastocin (AVT) family, including the mammalian peptides arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXT), comprise neuroendocrine circuits that range from being evolutionarily conserved to evolutionarily diverse. For instance, the functions and anatomy of the AVT/AVP projections to the pituitary (which arise in the preoptic ...
