Example sentences for: ohno
How can you use “ohno” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The 'subfunctionalization' hypothesis is based on the same assumption as Ohno's model, namely that duplicated genes are redundant in function and, accordingly, a duplication event is selectively neutral [ 6, 10].
The inconsistency of empirical evidence with Ohno's model prompts questions on the validity of some of the assumptions underlying this model.
For some genes, duplication confers an immediate selective advantage by facilitating elevated expression, or as Ohno put it, ‘duplication for the sake of producing more of the same’.
Susumu Ohno was the first to comprehensively elucidate the potential of gene duplication, in his book Evolution by Gene Duplication , published more than 30 years ago (Ohno 1970).
The same result would have been obtained if, in accordance with Ohno's original model, one of the paralogs was free from selective constraints, whereas the other one was maintained by purifying selection.
