Engage A Voice, Repress Fatigue; The Coincident Evolution Of Hominin Vocalization And A Metabolic Threshold, Galen A. Morton 9935238, Martin L. Morton
Shared Knowledge Conference
Physiologically self-protective mechanisms borne from hominin evolutionary history that increase survivability are not unknown to science. In reviewing exercise science literature regarding testing and assessment measures of subjects talking while exercising, a logical question has materialized: To what degree has evolution facilitated synchronization of comfortable oral communication with sustainable exercise intensity? An individual able to engage a voice, represses fatigue. The Talk Test, is a practical strategy whereby a subject deliberately speaks during an exercise protocol. It is a common tool in both kinesiology and clinical fields because it inherently identifies a pivotal metabolic threshold. The coincidence of comfortable ability …
Functional Divergence Of Duplicated Genes In The Soybean Genome, Paul L. Auer, R. W. Doerge
Functional Divergence Of Duplicated Genes In The Soybean Genome, Paul L. Auer, R. W. Doerge
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
The soybean genome has undergone many different evolutionary changes that are observable with modern technologies. Of particular interest to scientists and plant breeders is the fact that the soybean genome exhibits features of genome duplication from millions of years ago. Genes that were copied during the duplication event have since diverged functionally. Identifying functionally divergent duplicate genes may provide insight into the evolution of soybean. To investigate functional divergence, transcripts from seven different tissue samples of pooled soybean messenger RNA were sequenced using the Solexa next-generation sequencer and analyzed for gene expression. We tested differential expression of duplicated genes within …
