Example sentences for: alleles

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

Since the polymorphisms present in MOLD do not affect restriction sites, this experiment was done using SSCP to distinguish the alleles.
Analysis of all the SSU alleles for strains with multiple copies revealed that there was no substantial variation among them.
The major gene is assumed to have two codominant alleles A 1 and A 2 whose frequencies in the population are p 1 = 0.6 and p 2 = 0.4.
Results are presented in table 2. On the assumption that the goal of the study is to identify mutant alleles that occur with increased frequency in patients with high TCD, the table is limited to cases in which p 1 > p 2 . To save space, the table is further limited to entries that just span the range of differences, p 1 - p 2 , that can be detected with 80-90% power for each specified value of p 1 . Based on these power analyses we conclude that we have good power to detect realistic differences in frequencies of alleles that increase risk of cerebrovascular disease and stroke in cases as compared to controls.
The cell frequencies in the table would then be inspected to determine which combinations of alleles accounted for the statistically significant results; i.e. to identify the combinations that occur with elevated frequency in patients with high TCD.
