Example sentences for: distances
How can you use “distances” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Many of the distances are actually redundant.
Distances between each pair of protein sequences in the partial alignment (see above) were calculated using the Jukes-Cantor method for correcting for multiple substitutions at a single site.
The stability of this distribution at more extreme evolutionary distances is apparently insensitive to changes in the proportion of non-coding DNA that is conserved (compare D. willistoni and D. littoralis ). Shown for comparison is the distribution of CNCS lengths between D. melanogaster and D. virilis from [ 44], as well as a reanalysis of this data using the current methods.
Initial simulation estimates based on monotonic population expansion suggested that useful LD was unlikely to extend beyond 3 kb, implying a number of 500,000 SNPs necessary for a whole-genome scan [ 32 ] . Another study looking at real data found that LD extended over much larger distances and arrived at an estimate as small as 30,000 SNPs, or 1 SNP per 100 kb [ 33 ] . Recent evidence suggests that the genome consists of blocks of high LD (haplotype blocks) separated by recombination hot spots [ 34 ] . Within each block, a limited number of common haplotypes (three to five) typically capture about 90% of all chromosomes, which means that a reduced number of SNPs would be needed to characterize these haplotypes [ 35 ] . Thus, the recently initiated construction of a haplotype map of the human genome may facilitate selection of SNP markers for genomewide association studies like ours.
therefore inflates estimates of interspecific distances within the genus.
