Example sentences for: autosomes

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

Our BAC-based physical map of the autosomes [ 11] was used as a starting point for sequence assembly of the second chromosome.
Comparing the gross homology of the two species, both the Anopheles and Drosophila have two major metacentric autosomes and an X chromosome (five chromosomal arms in total).
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.
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.
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.
