Phonetic indices of syllabic organization in German stop-lateral clusters
Using articulatory data from five German speakers, we study how segmental sequences under different syllabic organizations respond to perturbations of phonetic parameters in the segments that compose them.

Pleiotropy as the Mechanism for Evolving Novelty: Same Signal, Different Result. [PDF]
In contrast to the probabilistic way of thinking about pleiotropy as the random expression of a single gene that generates two or more distinct phenotypic traits, it is actually a deterministic consequence of the evolution of complex physiology from the ...

Exploring the pleiotropy of hos1 [PDF]
Understanding of the roles that HIGH EXPRESSION OF OSMOTICALLY RESPONSIVE GENE 1 (HOS1) plays in the plant's ability to sense and respond to environmental signals has grown dramatically. Mechanisms through which HOS1 affects plant development have been uncovered, and the broader consequences of hos1 on the plant's ability to perceive and respond to its

Pleiotropy, “sexy” traits, and speciation [PDF]
The evolution of mating signals and preferences assists speciation by facilitating assortative mating within diverging lineages, thereby closing down conduits of gene flow between lineages. However, sexual communication traits are frequently subject to stabilizing selection, suggesting that new variants will be selected against, thereby discouraging ...

Gene duplication is a driver of the evolution of new functions. The duplication of genes encoding homomeric proteins leads to the formation of homomers and heteromers of paralogs, creating new complexes after a single duplication event. The loss of these

Dominance, Pleiotropy and Metabolic Structure [PDF]
ABSTRACT It is a common observation that most mutants have similar dominance relations for all the characters they are known to affect. As a model of pleiotropic effects we investigate a branched pathway where the two outputs represent two characters whose variation is affected by changes in any of the genetically specified enzymes in ...

Both lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity, a biomarker of inflammation, and concentration of its primary associated lipoprotein, LDL, are correlated with adverse coronary outcomes.

PLEIOTROPY AND PARAPATRIC SPECIATION [PDF]
Parapatric speciation as described by Murray (1972), Bush (1975), and Endler (1977) is the process of species formation from two or more populations that initially have some gene flow among them. This process is different from allopatric speciation, which requires that there first be a complete absence of gene flow, and sympatric speciation, which ...

Chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) parameters are reliable early stress indicators in crops, but their relations with yield are still not clear. The aims of this study are to examine genetic correlations between photosynthetic performance of JIP-test during

The role of common genetic variation in susceptibility to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a group of rare clonal hematologic disorders characterized by dysplastic hematopoiesis and high mortality, remains unclear.
