Example sentences for: homozygosity
How can you use “homozygosity” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The IOP increase in the dark is not dependent on functional rod and cone photoreceptors since these cells degenerate in SWR/J mice due to homozygosity for the Pde6b rd 1mutation.
Some of the haplotypes significantly associated with CVID and IgGSD in the present study also occur with significantly increased frequencies in central Alabama Caucasian hemochromatosis probands with homozygosity for HFE C282Y on Ch6p [ 10 ] . These haplotypes are A*03-B*07 and A*03-B*14 [ [ 10 ] ; present study].
The generation of Hoxc-8 transgenic mice and the characterization of their phenotype have been published [ 1 ] . Briefly, Hoxc-8 expressing mice are generated in a binary transgenic mouse system [ 44 ] by crossing a transactivator strain (harboring a transgene in which expression of the transcriptional transactivator VP16 is under control of the Hoxc-8 promoter; [ 45 ] ) to a transresponder strain (that carries as a transgene the Hoxc-8 cDNA linked to the ICP4 immediate early gene promoter, which is silent in mice in the absence of VP16; [ 45 46 ] ). Upon combination of both transgenes, the Hoxc-8 transresponder transgene is activated, and Hoxc-8 becomes overexpressed [ 23 ] . This system also allows the generation of transgenic mice with increased gene dosage by superimposition of transgene loci to homozygosity [ 23 44 ] . For the studies reported here, we used the T239 transactivator and the IE-c8-254 transresponder strains.
This frequency of homozygosity at a nonessential locus is similar to that reported by Mitchell's group (2 out of 30) for homozygous disruption of the C. albicans CDC25 gene [ 16 ] . These results confirm that the single-transformation test can, in our hands, be used to identify a nonessential gene and they underscore the inference from the data presented here that RNA triphosphatase is essential for growth of C. albicans.
Sickle cell anemia (Hb SS) results from homozygosity for a A→T substitution at codon 6 of the β-globin gene (GAG→GTG) leading to a glutamic acid to valine (Glu→Val) substitution in the β globin chain of human adult hemoglobin.
