Example sentences for: autosomes

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

Presumably as a result of its reduced sequence coverage, the Release 2 sequence of the X chromosome has 2.5 times as many gaps (743, representing 49% of the total) per million bases as those of the autosomes and more than half the gaps in the euchromatic portion of the genome that lie in unique sequence map to the X chromosome.
The density of full-length L1s (with and without TSDs) on the sex chromosomes is also more than twice as high as on the autosomes; this may be a simple consequence of the lower recombination potential on the sex chromosomes as reported by Boissinot et al.
For instance, C. elegans autosomes are organized into central regions dense with predicted genes, highly expressed genes and known mutants, whereas the chromosome arms contain more repetitive sequences and have a higher meiotic recombination rate [ 31 80 ] . By using the expanding collection of ESTs from nematodes at various evolutionary distances from C. elegans , the hypothesis that genes on the autosome arms are more rapidly evolving can be tested more systematically.
We annotated six of these Y-linked genes ( kl-2, kl-3, kl-5, Ory, Pp1-Y2 and Ppr-Y ). The WGS sequence data were generated from clone libraries made from mixed-sex populations, so the male Y chromosome is represented by a four-fold lower density of sequence reads than the autosomes.
Our BAC-based physical map of the autosomes [ 11] was used as a starting point for sequence assembly of the second chromosome.
