Example sentences for: gc-rich

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

The flanking regions of exons 1a and 1b were analyzed for potential transcription factor binding sites using the Transfac database and search engine [ 34 ] . The flank of exon 1b is GC-rich and contains multiple potential Sp1 binding sites close to the promoter.
Based on the similarity between the zinc fingers of Nrg1 and Mig1 and our binding studies, the binding site of Nrg1 may contain a GC-rich core.
Furthermore, although GC- and gene-rich regions generally lack L1s [ 1 ] , it has been hypothesized that at any given time during the evolution of the human genome, L1s have inserted randomly, but over time, they have been selected against in GC-rich regions [ 44 ] . If this is true, it may be difficult to find evidence in our genome of L1-mediated exon shuffling.
The predicted promoter regions are highly GC-rich and lack canonical TATA boxes, suggesting that they may be housekeeping genes [ 39 40 ] .
The 5' flank immediately upstream from the promoter is GC-rich and contains multiple Sp1-like sequences as well as several potential Mef-2 binding sites.
