Example sentences for: co-linearity

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

  • Comparative genomics and more specialized fields such as comparative virology, etc., involve the comparison of DNA sequences, genes and genomes [ 12 13 14 ] . Recent rapid data acquisition is allowing the analyses of whole genome sequences, especially the smaller genomes such as mitochondria and chloroplasts [ 15 16 17 ] , as well as the larger bacterial genomes [ 18 19 ] and large tracts of eukaryotic chromosomes, especially from related organisms [ 12 13 14 20 21 22 23 ] . These studies include the determination of the order of genes, i.e., co-linearity [ 24 25 ] , the location of synteny [ 26 27 28 ] and the identification of clusters of orthologous genes [cog] between two genomes [ 21 22 23 ] . Along similar lines of thought, it should be extremely useful to locate, identify and catalog the sets of "core" genes common to these genomes-genomes which otherwise may be related or semi-related or unrelated in other respects.

  • Small genomes include those from viruses [ 3 ] , mitochondria [ 14 15 ] and chloroplasts [ 16 ] . The increasing importance of the large amount of DNA sequence data recently collected from these small genomes is reflected in the better understanding of their biology [ 3 4 12 13 14 ] and in the upsurge of publications analyzing these genomes and the organisms to which they belong [ 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ] . Genome co-linearity, gene clustering and homolog identification are three global genome analyses which are important in many fields of research, including resolving phylogenetic and evolutionary relationships [ 15 16 17 ] .

  • Separate models were used due to the high co-linearity between the skill and station scores, since both of these scores drew from the same item pool.
