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.
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.
According to theory, a pair of autosomes can evolve into sex chromosomes by mutation of a control gene [ 4].
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.
