A different transition matrix is obtained when theneutralmarkerlies between the two selected loci (map 1-n-2).
From theCambridge English Corpus
First, transfer of theneutralmarkerbetween different selected backgrounds occurs by recombination, rather than migration.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Microsatellites, aneutralmarkerto infer selective sweeps.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We detected significant structuring of style morphs and neutral markers in populations, probably because of restricted pollen and seed dispersal.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The likelihood is a function of recombination frequencies between adjacent markers for a given marker linkage order without considering segregation distortion of neutral markers.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Selection may act indirectly through statistical or physical associations of neutral markers with selected genes, such as genes directly involved in resistance or virulence.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The player still has an unplayedneutralmarker, so is the rule interpreted such that the player must place their remaining two neutral markers, playing on 4 and 10?

We also examined the spatial distribution of style morphs and neutral markers to investigate the potential consequence of spatially restricted mating on morph ratios.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Therefore, the observed variability for the three adjacent neutral markers is most likely not the result of natural selection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It might be argued that, under the inbreeding hypothesis, variation in the linked load among neutral markers mimics differences in selection intensity.
From theCambridge English Corpus
After 20 generations, the influence of selection on the genetic differentiation is much stronger for the selected trait than for the neutral markers.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Questions regarding the correlation between genetic variation in quantitative traits and neutral markers are important for both fundamental and applied research.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Our data show that there is also considerable heterogeneity in the frequency of presumably neutral markers and low gene flow among populations collected at a smaller geographical scale.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Since it is difficult to date onset, particularly if insidious, a calendar including neutral markers like national and local events, holidays, birthdays of close relatives was used to anchor them.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Finally, we find how the width of the selected clines, and hence the number of genes inferred from observations on neutral markers, depends on the pattern of epistasis.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Very few migrants per generation are needed to prevent strong differentiation of neutral markers.
