Example sentences for: backcross

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

A simple linear regression backcross model is employed for single marker QTL detection
Using restriction-length-fragment polymorphism (RFLP) and RFLP-derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers (Figure 1) based on previously published tomato genetic and RFLP maps [ 8], initial studies mapped the dgt locus to a region of around 0.8 cM near the bottom of the long arm of tomato chromosome 1. Of 1,308 backcross (BC 1 ) individuals screened, 10 plants were determined to be recombinant between markers TG269 and CT190, whereas no plants were found to be recombinant between TG389 and dgt (Figure 1).
A set of these RI backcrosses (RIB) has a genetic structure similar to a conventional N2 backcross, but there is no need to genotype any of the RIB progeny and they have the major advantage that isogenic progeny can be typed to obtain much more reliable trait scores.
Third, the power of RI sets can now be amplified significantly by use of RI intercross (RIX) and RI backcross (RIB) designs [ 19, 20].
Extending the (backcross) notation defined previously, a multiple linear regression model (based on two markers) can be employed for QTL detection purposes.
