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

(3) The ancestral bilaterian Runx gene was apparently assembled from three exons and contained two introns, one within the sequence that encodes the Runt domain, and a second that borders the sequence encoding the C-terminal end of the Runt domain.
This suggests that it may be a metazoan (and possibly a bilaterian) invention, and that the genomic regulatory networks through which Runx genes control the fate, proliferation and differentiation of cells are unique to animals.
Our collective ignorance of the totality of non-coding RNA genes was laid bare by recent work on microRNAs (miRNAs), an abundant family of 21-22 nucleotide non-coding RNAs [ 2 3 ] . The founding members of this family, lin-4 and let-7, were identified through forward analysis of extant Caenorhabditis elegans mutants [ 4 5 ] . Both of these RNAs are post-transcriptional regulators of developmental timing that function by binding to the 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) of target genes [ 5 6 7 8 ] . Although they were long regarded as genetic curiosities possibly specific to nematodes, let-7 was subsequently found to be broadly conserved across bilaterian evolution [ 9 ] and miRNA genes are now recognized as a pervasive and widespread feature of animal and plant genomes [ 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ] .
The collected set of sequences thus contains representatives of several major bilaterian phyla within both deuterostomes (Chordata and Echinodermata) and protostomes (Nematoda and Arthropoda).
