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

We designed degenerate PCR primers for a set of eight well-characterized genes ( apterous (ap), even-skipped (eve), fushi-tarazu (ftz), twist (twi) , and Rhodopsins 1, 2, 3 and 4 ( Rh1, Rh2, Rh3 and Rh4 )) to obtain species-specific sequence-tagged sites (STSs) that were subsequently used for hybridization to gridded fosmid filters (see Materials and methods).
Notable in the wing cluster are broad , which is expressed in imaginal cells and encodes a family of transcription factors [ 32], and apterous , which is expressed in the dorsal wing cells and is required for wing formation [ 33].
Among the genes with elevated expression in wing discs were apterous and engrailed.
apterous is expressed in the dorsal compartment of the wing disc, but not in the eye-antennal disc; engrailed is expressed in the posterior compartment cells of both the wing and eye-antennal discs.
Analysis of non-coding sequence evolution reveals that levels of conservation vary with divergence time, and that conserved non-coding sequences (CNCSs) exhibit a striking pattern of spatial clustering in Drosophila . Using transgenic reporter assays we show that CNCS clusters can be used to accurately predict a developmentally regulated enhancer in the apterous ( ap ) region.
