Example sentences for: inbreeding

How can you use “inbreeding” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The SHR strain was derived by selective inbreeding from the Kyoto outbred Wistar colony, and both SHR and SHRSP, as well as WKY strains have been maintained over many generations through brother-sister matings http://rgd.mcw.edu/tools/strains [ 43 44 ] . Healthy WKA and GH rat strains were also generated from outbred Wistar rat strains, but these strains were isolated independently in Japan and New Zealand, respectively (and maintained at other sites as well).

  • Dog genome projects reveal that inbreeding for pedigree locks in bad recessive traits.

  • In crosses between wild and cultivated species of inbreeding plants, alleles that were “left behind” during the domestication process may be reintroduced into the cultivated gene pool.

  • In theory, a set of 75,000 genotypes generated across the genome of 100 RI strains should detect only a single residual heterozygous loci at generation F55 of inbreeding (Figure 3, lowest line; the inbreeding coefficient at F55 is 0.99998812).

  • A second well justified objection to using RI strains to map quantitative traits is that fully inbred strains may not provide representative phenotypes precisely because they are inbred and subject to often severe inbreeding depression.
