Example sentences for: cyst

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

The most extensively studied HGT candidates are four genes encoding β-1,4-endoglucanase, initially identified in the cyst nematodes G. rostochiensis and H. glycines [ 18 19 ] . These four genes (NemaGene Contig IDs MI00537, MI01011, MI01381 and MI01842) [ 30 ] appear to define two sets of paralogs formed before divergence of the cyst and root-knot nematodes.
Sixty-four ESTs had significant homology to the putative fatty-acid-binding protein Sec-2, confirming the abundant expression of this gene reported in L2 cDNA libraries from M. incognita [ 29 ] and the cyst nematodes G. rostochiensis and G. pallida cDNA [ 30 ] . Sec-2 is secreted by plant-parasitic nematodes at relatively high levels [ 34 ] . Several abundantly expressed genes are also horizontal gene transfer candidates (see below).
Included are 32,735 sequences from Meloidogyne species ( M. incognita 12,752, M. hapla 11,049, M. javanica 5,600, M. arenaria 3,334), as well as ESTs from cyst nematode species ( G. rostochiensis 5,934, H. glycines 4,327, G. pallida 1,832), and the lesion nematode ( P. penetrans 2,048).
However, similar experiments do not yield amplification products from the cyst nematodes we tested.
Alternatively, the transfer event may be more recent, such as to the progenitor of the Meloidogyne lineage since its divergence from the cyst nematodes (event 'b' in Figure 1), or in a lineage leading to a single Meloidogyne species (event 'c').
