Example sentences for: erecta

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

  • D. erecta (strain 14021-0224.

  • These may represent genes overpredicted in both D. erecta and D. melanogaster , lineage-specific genes which evolved before the divergence of D. melanogaster from D. erecta , or genes which have transposed from (or to) other locations in the genomes of the more divergent species.

  • Genomic sequences for six of the nine genes which fail the K a /K s test at the gene level were sampled in more divergent species: four of these six genes could be identified in more divergent species ( Lmpt, CG10887, CG14292 , and CG4468 ), whereas two could not ( CG12378 and CG14294 ), indicating that genes conserved in divergent species can fail gene-level K a /K s tests in comparisons among closely related species like D. erecta . Of the four genes identified only in D. melanogaster and D. erecta and not in more distantly related species, two pass CG12133 and CG13029 ) and two fail ( CG12378 and CG14294 ) the gene-level K a /K s test.

  • From the results of this screen, we estimated the average number of unique hits per library per species to be 4.1 for D. erecta , 3.2 for D. pseudoobscura , 2.2 for D. willistoni and 2.9 for D. littoralis . These figures indicate that these libraries have fewer unique hits than the expected approximately 5× coverage.

  • Neither coding nor non-coding sequences have experienced sufficient divergence to differentiate whether sequences 'conserved' between D. erecta and D. melanogaster result from functional constraint or shared ancestry (Figures 2, 4).
