How can you use “genetic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Such genetic heterogeneity has been described for multiple loci in breast cancer [ 3, 11, 16, 19, 20], providing an understanding of the complex picture of breast cancer pathogenesis.
Whereas cytogenetic profiling techniques, such as comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) [ 1], have been useful in finding genetic abnormalities, other experimental approaches are frequently used to identify which specific gene(s) drive selection for the genetic aberration and contribute most to tumor progression.
There has been little progress towards identifying the genetic control of diapause in insects.
Studies in Escherichia coli have shown that, although RecA is the principle protein involved in pairing and strand exchange, unrelated proteins, that have a much more restrictive phyletic distribution, can also promote similar reactions in a RecA dependent or RecA-independent manner [ 3 ] . These alternative or additional mediators of homologous recombination include the well-characterized prophage RecT, phage λ Redβ and phage P22 ERF proteins [ 4 5 ] . Similarly, in yeast and vertebrates, the RAD52 protein is involved in the pairing and strand exchange reaction and can promote recombination in a RAD51 (the eukaryotic RecA homolog)-dependent or independent manner [ 6 ] . The RecT protein works in conjunction with the RecE-nuclease [ 7 ] and was initially described in genetic studies on the complemention of mutations in the RecBCD pathway of DNA repair [ 8 9 10 ] . Biochemically, RecT has been shown to bind single-stranded (ss) DNA 3' overhang regions generated by the RecE nuclease, and promote strand exchange between homologous DNA partners by assisting the pairing of complementary single-stranded regions [ 4 10 ] . The reaction catalyzed by the RecT/RecE system is similar to that described for the phage λ exonuclease (exo/Redβ) and the single-strand annealing protein Redβ.
In general, the loss or gain of an intron represents a major genetic rearrangement and is a relatively rare event when compared with sequence changes [ 35 ] . It is highly unlikely that an intron would arise at the same sequence position in different gene lineages, further supporting that the TOX family arose by gene duplication.
