Example sentences for: homologs
How can you use “homologs” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
To determine whether homologs account for our observations, we repeated our analysis on a dataset from which homologs that are physically near one another were removed.
This view of the evolutionary history of RDRPs is compatible with the presence of RDRP homologs in phages and with their role in replicating microRNAs (potential relics of the RNA world) during PTGS in eukaryotes.
To examine the relationship between protein-protein interactions and evolutionary conservation of proteins over longer periods of time, the numbers of interactions for S. cerevisiae proteins were assessed against the taxonomic distribution of their homologs, which were detected using BLAST searches of the Genbank non-redundant protein database with expect value ≤ 10 -3.
Transitive searches initiated with the divergent members detected in these searches additionally recovered the amidase domains of bacterial and kinetoplastid GSPS and the bacterial peptidoglycan-degrading enzymes such as Lactococcus AcmB, Staphylococcus LytA [ 33] and LytN [ 34] and their homologs.
By comparison, RNAi surveys of all predicted genes on a C. elegans chromosome have found a smaller percentage of genes with phenotypes: 14% for chromosome I [ 63 ] and 13% for chromosome III [ 64 ] . Surveys of expressed genes reveal an intermediate level of 27% with phenotypes [ 65 ] . Further, selecting for C. elegans genes with expressed Meloidogyne homologs led to enrichment for genes with severe phenotypes by RNAi such as embryonic lethality or sterility as compared to the overall dataset (Figure 5) (For a complete tally of all observed phenotypes see Additional data files).
