Example sentences for: fused

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

The Q/N-rich domain from CPEB (CPEBQ), when fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP), conferred upon it prion-like properties.
A recent study provided evidence that the fission of fused genes occurred during evolution at a rate comparable to that of fusion [ 12].
HD domains typically possess phosphoesterase activity, and are fused to catalytic domains that possess nucleotide kinase, nucleotidyltransferase, nucleotide cyclase or diguanylate cyclase activity [ 19 29 ] . This fits well with the observed cyclase activity seen in CyaB, but is also consistent with phosphotransferase or nucleotidyl transferase for the CYTH domain.
Here, we address another central aspect of the evolution of gene fusions, namely, do fusions of the same domains in different phylogenetic lineages reflect vertical descent, possibly accompanied by multiple lineage-specific fission events, or independent fusion events, or horizontal transfer of the fused gene?
To distinguish between a single fusion event followed by HGT and/or fission of the fused gene and multiple, independent fusion events in distinct organisms, we analyzed phylogenetic trees that were constructed separately for each of the fusion-linked domains (proteins).
