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:

BLM has been localized to two GC-rich repeated regions (nucleolus and telomeres) [ 20] where the replication machinery is likely to need assistance to back up in order to untangle stalled forks and resolve inappropriate invasive events between repeated sequence elements found on multiple chromosomes.
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.
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.
Although the conclusion that amino acids with GC-rich codon doublets are more frequent in GC-rich genomes, and that those with AU-rich codon doublets are more frequent in AT-rich genomes, is neither new nor surprising [ 34], our model accurately and quantitatively predicts these responses for essentially all codons and amino acids by invoking forces acting on individual nucleotides.
The predicted promoter regions are highly GC-rich and lack canonical TATA boxes, suggesting that they may be housekeeping genes [ 39 40 ] .
