Example sentences for: initio

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

  • Finally, alignment of protein sequence to genomic DNA cannot predict untranslated regions (UTRs), and the leading ab initio gene prediction programs (Genscan [ 11], GlimmerM [ 12], Genemark.HMM [ 13]) have great difficulty predicting UTRs; most of them predict only the coding portion of a transcript.

  • We hold that the reliance on ab initio approaches presents difficulties, as known genes may be more highly expressed and may present a biased sample for calibration.

  • The third CASP saw consistent but little progress relative to CASP2 in both comparative modelling and fold recognition categories [ 20 21 ] , but the most dramatic results were observed in the ab initio category.

  • Analyses of small genomes show that about 30-40% of the proteins within the genome can be modelled by comparative modelling and fold recognition methods [ 27 50 52 ] . An additional 20-30% of the sequences are (or contain) small domains with simple secondary structures that are viable candidates for ab initio structure prediction [ 53 ] . The remaining proteins are usually not amenable to structure prediction and sometimes even structure determination (a significant fraction of the latter are membrane proteins).

  • When I was young at the bar I heard with delight an old lawyer, who could have played Dickens's Mr. Tulkinghorn, speak grandly of the court of nisi prius (pronouncing it NICEY PRY-US), an utterly obsolete Latinism for the simple trial court . Just as any speaker may, for the sake of euphony (or vanity) flourish an occasional eminence grise or mirabile dictu , may not a lawyer plume himself now and then with an ab initio or even a mutatis mutandis , not to “unite the priesthood’ but to savor his own sonority, as a bird sings also for itself?
