Host Adaptive Evolution of Avian-Origin H3N2 Canine Influenza Virus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Since its first isolation in around 2007, the avian-origin H3N2 canine influenza virus (CIV) has become established and continues to circulate in dog populations.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase improves the efficiency of positive selection [PDF]
, 2006 We have generated transgenic mice expressing the amino-terminal fragment of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) catalytic subunit (p110(ABD)) in thymocytes.

A survey of methods and tools to detect recent and strong positive selection
Journal of Biological Research - Thessaloniki, 2017 Positive selection occurs when an allele is favored by natural selection. The frequency of the favored allele increases in the population and due to genetic hitchhiking the neighboring linked variation diminishes, creating so-called selective sweeps ...

Positive selection underlies Faster-Z evolution of gene expression in birds. [PDF]
, 2015 The elevated rate of evolution for genes on sex chromosomes compared to autosomes (Fast-X or Fast-Z evolution) can result either from positive selection in the heterogametic sex, or from non-adaptive consequences of reduced relative effective population ...

Detecting positive selection in the genome
BMC Biology, 2017 Population geneticists have long sought to understand the contribution of natural selection to molecular evolution. A variety of approaches have been proposed that use population genetics theory to quantify the rate and strength of positive selection ...

A conditional marker gene allowing both positive and negative selection in plants [PDF]
, 2004 Selectable markers enable transgenic plants or cells to be identified after transformation. They can be divided into positive and negative markers conferring a selective advantage or disadvantage, respectively.

Negative and positive selection of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes affected by the α3 domain of MHC I molecules [PDF]
, 1991 THE α1 and α2 domains of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules function in the binding and presentation of foreign peptides to the T-cell antigen receptor and control both negative and positive selection of the T-cell repertoire ...

Population size may shape the accumulation of functional mutations following domestication
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Population genetics theory predicts an important role of differences in the effective population size (N e ) among species on shaping the accumulation of functional mutations by regulating the selection efficiency.
