Example sentences for: allele-specific

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

We show that, depending on allele frequencies at the HLA locus of interest, population heterozygote advantage may occur when there is allele-specific overdominance, but may also occur under other conditions, including allele-specific underdominance.
Thus, allele-specific methylation patterns can be distinguished using this gene.
In this report, we show that although population heterozygote advantage is compatible with allele-specific overdominance, it is also compatible with the opposite; i.e., population heterozygote advantage could arise in a population in which every heterozygote had a worse disease outcome than either of the corresponding homozygotes ("allele-specific underdominance").
Although neither population heterozygote advantage nor allele-specific overdominance implies the other, the two phenomena are of course related.
As was true of the BL/6 × CAST crosses, the parent-of-origin dependence of the allele-specific expression was superimposed on a baseline bias towards hyper-expression of the BL/6 allele.
