Example sentences for: homologous
How can you use “homologous” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
There are now three families of eukaryotic ion channel genes for which only a few homologs have been identified in prokaryotes: the first family is a glutamate-activated K +channel, GluR0 [ 14 ] from Synechocystis PCC 6803, that is homologous to eukaryotic ionotrophic glutamate receptors; the second family is a Na +channel, NaChBac, from Bacillus halodurans [ 15 ] , [ 26 ] and homologous sequences from Thermobifida fusca and Magnetococcus sp.
In addition to these well-characterized surface proteins, the schizont-enriched set of transcripts contained a number of ORFs identical or homologous to proteins recognized by antibodies present in plasmodium immune sera obtained either from model organisms [ 46] or from acute and/or convalescent patients [ 47].
We also present evidence that RDRP and the ubiquitous β' subunit of DDRP contain a homologous, metal-coordinating, catalytic domain.
Assigning function by sequence homology alone is subject to a number of caveats, including the occurrence of structurally homologous enzymes that catalyze different reactions [ 3] and the propagation of error through successive rounds of sequence annotation [ 4].
The first set of genes, transmembrane cochlear expressed genes 1 and 2 ( TMC1 ) and TMC2 [ 5 ] were found in a search for mutations causing dominant and recessive deafness in human and mouse [ 5 6 ] . Mutations in the second pair of genes, EVER1 and EVER2 , are linked to epidermodysplasia verruciformis that is associated with an increased susceptibility to infection with some human papillomaviruses causing a high risk of skin carcinoma [ 7 ] . We noticed that the proteins encoded by these genes are homologous, which raised our interest in testing whether the genome accommodates additional related genes.
