Example sentences for: centromere

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

The GB4 jump is strikingly large on several chromosomes, and we propose that the jumps might reflect increased radiation sensitivity at the centromere.
it has been shown that driving transcription through a centromere via an inducible promoter prevents cohesin from associating and results in chromosome missegregation and cell death [13].
The function of cohesion at the centromere is presumably to oppose the force of microtubules, which pull the chromosomes to opposite spindle poles; this force is not exerted along the chromosome arms, which means that cohesion at centromeres and along arms is functionally distinct.
Sequences that function as ARS s in yeast occur on average every 20 to 40 kb in all the eukaryotic genomes thus far examined [ 14 15 ] , which suggests that most mammalian chromosomal regions can be readily isolated by TAR-cloning with a vector that lacks an ARS . The ARS frequency in chromosomal regions that consist of multiple repetitive elements, however, such as the centromere and telomere, may be reduced, meaning that these regions may not be isolatable by the original TAR method.
Given no rearrangement of tomato chromosome 1 and that microsynteny between tomato and Arabidopsis genomes remains firm, the predicted order of the new MEST and BAC end-generated markers in tomato would be as follows: TC47447 → TC87150 → TG269 → BG643476 → TC85079 → TC87127 → TC89380 → TG389 → AW624844 → TC92082 → TC98260 → CT190 (centromere to telomere, Figure 5).
