Example sentences for: double-strand

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

  • Apparently it is the case in yeast and mammals that both recombination and double-strand breaks are also prerequisites for the proper formation of the synaptonemal complex (SC) (Figure 2) and thus for proper orientation of the spindle apparatus and accurate segregation of chromosomes during meiosis (Paques and Haber 1999; Lichten 2001; Hunter 2003; Page and Hawley 2003).

  • The recE gene product of the Rac prophage converts dsDNA ends into 3' protruding single-stranded form and the recT gene product promotes recombination by annealing them with a homologous DNA in its vicinity (for review, see [ 7 8 ] ). This recombination may result in one progeny DNA (non-conservative recombination) or two progeny DNAs (conservative double-strand break repair) [ 9 ] . In a recBC sbcBC background, a ds end stimulates homologous recombination that results in only one progeny DNA (non-conservative recombination) [ 10 ] . Analysis of the stimulation of recombination by replication (for review, see [ 11 ] ) and analysis of altered chromosomal replication (for review, see [ 12 ] ) led to the proposal that a chromosomal ds break formed during replication fork arrest triggers homologous recombination, which would reconstitute a replication fork (for review, see [ 5 ] ).

  • There follows a rapid winding up of the filament into a double-strand helix by a process of supercoiling that is triggered by the impediment of the twisting motions that accompany cell growth [ 2 ] . The cells in double-strand helical structures also twist as they grow.

  • V(D)J recombination proceeds by the introduction of double-strand DNA breaks (reviewed in [ 41]).

  • double-strand cutting activity, and thereby explaining coupled action between chromatid cutting and telomere addition (see below).
