Example sentences for: autosomes

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

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.
This observation is consistent with previous reports that the density of L1s on the X chromosome is almost double that on the autosomes [ 1, 38, 39].
In the WGS assemblies, the sequence coverage of the X and Y chromosomes is expected to be less than for the autosomes.
These data indicate that the L1s annotated here are positioned much more densely on the X and Y chromosomes at approximately nine L1s per megabase (Mb) of genomic DNA, compared with a mean density of around five L1s per Mb for all autosomes.
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.
