Genetics
Examplesofsegregatingsegregating In English, many past and present participles of verbs can be used as adjectives. Some of these examples may show the adjective use. Simulations were performed separately for each locus, conditioned on the number of sequences, length of the locus and the number ofsegregatingsites. From theCambridge English Corpus In contrast, one quantity that increases with increasing recombination rate is the number of different partitions defined by adjacent pairs of congruentsegregatingsites. From theCambridge English Corpus Strictly speaking, unless there are mutations, only founder genes aresegregating. From theCambridge English Corpus Linkage disequilibrium between twosegregatingnucleotide sites under steady flux of mutations in a finite population. From theCambridge English Corpus In addition, the map resolution is dependent upon the number ofsegregatingoffspring produced. From theCambridge English Corpus Detection of linkage between marker loci and loci affecting quantitative traits in crosses betweensegregatingpopulations. From theCambridge English Corpus All the loci weresegregatingfor two alleles all the time. From theCambridge English Corpus Natural selection acting uponsegregatinggenotypes leads to higher fitness by identifying individuals that possess the ideal combinations of these three components of fitness. From theCambridge English Corpus We assume that all mutationssegregatingin the population are equally deleterious and have equivalent fitness effects in heterozygotes. From theCambridge English Corpus This is reasonably attained with six to tensegregatingalleles, though we have found weak dependencies up through as many as 50 alleles. From theCambridge English Corpus If we wish to study genetic variation for fitness then we must begin with the simplest possible scenario : twosegregatinggenomes. From theCambridge English Corpus The rank of the number ofsegregatingsites was positively associated with fitness in each environment. From theCambridge English Corpus Haplotype tests using coalescent simulations conditional on the number ofsegregatingsites. From theCambridge English Corpus Critical values are determined from 100 000 panmictic simulations conditional on the same sample size and number ofsegregatingsites. From theCambridge English Corpus In this way, every allelesegregatingin each family could be unambiguously identified.
