Example sentences for: diverged

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

  • Paralogs are defined as two genes that diverged by a duplication event [ 18 ] . Other concepts derived from gene trees can be useful for functional prediction.

  • In some cases, BLAST fails to locate sequence homologs that have diverged greatly from the seed mitochondrial protein.

  • To increase the amount of data in this training set ( B 2 ) without biasing sample sizes, we pooled sequences from all species in the zygomycetes with all available chytridiomycete coding sequences, and compared this training set with a set from a single plant genus, Medicago ( A 2 ). We chose this option, rather than including an arbitrary subset of sequences from the ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, because zygomycetes and chytridiomycetes have diverged from their common ancestor less recently than the ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, based on 18S ribosomal RNA sequence data [ 34].

  • Conversely, in many cases the expression patterns of duplicated genes have diverged and are largely non-overlapping.

  • Once gene duplicates have diverged sufficiently so that they differ in their functionality (or non-functionality), gene conversion events can become deleterious—for example, by introducing disrupting mutations from a pseudogene into its functional duplicate.
