How can you use “autosomes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
This was true for Shab ( Dm 3L, Ag 2L), Shaw ( Dm 2L, Ag 3R), Shal ( Dm 3L, Ag 2L), KCNQ ( Dm 2R, Ag 2L) and Slowpoke ( Dm 3R, Ag 2R), as well as for Slack , eag , erg , elk , and the three inward rectifier genes, as shown in Table 2. The translocations between autosomes and chromosome X, observed for eag and Hyperkinetic , are notable: these examples raise questions about dosage compensation which will need to be addressed in future studies.
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.
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].
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.
