Example sentences for: acquired

How can you use “acquired” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • We identified genes acquired by species A after the divergence of species A and B (case +A -B -C in Figure 1), by making a BLASTP [ 28 ] query of the protein sequences more than 50 amino acids long in genome A against those in B and C. Proteins having no match with a bit score >10% of the bit score of the query protein against itself were considered as being recently acquired in species A.

  • In the same year, the government acquired the Museo de Artes Decorativas, at Calle 17 between Calles D and E. Each room in this grand 19th-century villa is furnished in a particular style: English Chippendale, Chinese, baroque, or Art Deco in the fabulous bathroom.

  • Among dozens of local live theater groups in San Francisco, the American Conservatory Theater (415 Geary Street; Tel. 415/749-2228) has acquired the widest national reputation.

  • Another RKN gene also postulated to have been acquired by HGT, and which encodes polyglutamate synthetase, was previously identified in M. artiellia [ 23 ] . Significantly, hybridization data showed that this particular gene is absent from both the M. javanica and G. rostochiensis genomes [ 23 ] . We speculate that acquisition of this gene by M. artiellia is a recent HGT event (event 'c', Figure 1), and thus it is truly absent from the Meloidogyne genomes from which our datasets were derived.

  • Although not pointed out by Médigue et al . [ 5 ] , this result is surprising, because these genes are thought to have been acquired through several independent events from different species, and therefore should display very different codon-usage patterns and be separated by the analysis.
