What is ‘natural’ in natural selection? [PDF]
, 2013 To understand Darwin’s concept of natural selection, we have to contrast it with his characterization of artificial selection, and then ask: what is natural in natural selection?

Phylogenetic Analysis of Three Long Non-coding RNA Genes: AK082072, AK043754 and AK082467 [PDF]
Journal of Genetic Resources, 2018 Now, it is clear that protein is just one of the most functional products produced by the eukaryotic genome. Indeed, a major part of the human genome is transcribed to non-coding sequences than to the coding sequence of the protein.

ABO AND RH BLOOD GROUPS DISTRIBUTION IN THE POPULATIONS OF LARESTAN AND LAMERD, FARS PROVINCE, IRAN [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 1996 A total of 3204 ABO and Rh blood groups were investigated in Larestan and Lamerd populations, in Fars province, in Iran. The frequency of the A gene ranged from 16.54% to 21.96, the B gene from 15.85 to 27.77% and that of the d gene from 21.49 to 33.01% ;

Grandmothering and natural selection [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 Humans are unique among primates in that women regularly outlive their reproductive period by decades. The grandmother hypothesis proposes that natural selection increased the length of the human post-menopausal period—and, thus, extended longevity—as a result of the inclusive fitness benefits of grandmothering.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pediatric intramedullary low‐grade gliomas (PIMLGGs) are rare neoplasms that present unique clinical and management challenges. Although surgery remains the primary tool for tissue diagnosis and decompression, complete gross‐total resection is frequently unfeasible due to the infiltrative nature of these lesions.

Thinking About Evolutionary Mechanisms: Natural Selection [PDF]
, 2004 This paper explores whether natural selection, a putative evolutionary mechanism, and a main one at that, can be characterized on either of the two dominant conceptions of mechanism, due to Glennan and the team of Machamer, Darden, and Craver, that ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

, 2008 Are learning processes selection processes? This paper takes a slightly modified version of the account of selection presented in Hull et al. (Behav Brain Sci 24:511–527, 2001) and asks whether it applies to learning processes.

Genomic Legacies of Ancient Adaptation Illuminate GC-Content Evolution in Bacteria
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Bacterial evolution is characterized by strong purifying selection as well as rapid adaptive evolution in changing environments. In this context, the genomic GC content (genomic GC) varies greatly but presents some level of phylogenetic stability, making
