Example sentences for: flanking

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

  • One thousand base-pairs of sequence flanking each gap (2,000 bp total per gap) was extracted from the published chromosome sequence.

  • adjacent to the 1B4 provirus were isolated by inverse polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as reported elsewhere [ 29 ] . This flanking sequence was used as a probe to genotype mutant mice and cells by Southern blot hybridization and was also used to isolate cDNA clones encoding the murine hnRNP A2/B1 protein from a PCC3 embryonal carcinoma cell cDNA library.

  • The specific function of individual helicases may be controlled by a substrate selection mechanism in the accessory regions flanking the helicase domain.

  • The trans-silencers as well as their targets reside in single-copy, gene-rich regions that are only sparsely populated with repetitive or transposable elements, features that have been shown to mediate epigenetic activity in other cases [ 18 31 32 ] . Therefore trans-silencing of GFP-COP1 is probably not mediated by transgene flanking sequences [ 27 ] . In contrast, as with other genes cited above, trans-silencing ability is correlated with transgene locus structure, given that the C73 and C97 trans-silencers contain multiple T-DNAs while their targets, E82 and L91, are essentially dimeric and monomeric, respectively.

  • The sequence immediately flanking the dnaA gene is considered the origin of chromosomal replication, or oriC region [ 9 10 ] . This region contains several genes that encode proteins required for basic cellular functions, including the protein subunit of RNase P (RnpA), ribosomal protein L34 (RpmH), the replication initiator protein (DnaA), the beta subunit of DNA polymerase III (DnaN), the recombination repair protein RecF, and the DNA gyrase proteins GyrA and GyrB.
