Words similar to inversions
Example sentences for: inversions
How can you use “inversions” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Pericentric inversions are the most common rearrangement differentiating humans and the great ape species at the karyotypic level [ 1 2 ] . In addition, it has been proposed that multiple inversions within a single chromosome could potentially lead to speciation [ 28 ] . The mechanism underlying their origin, however, remains poorly understood.
Recent studies have characterized several evolutionary breakpoints in common chimpanzee and other great ape species including pericentric inversions and a chromosome translocation [ 7 8 9 ] . We present here a refinement of the breakpoint associated with a previously identified pericentric inversion of the human 15q11-q13 orthologous region in common chimpanzee (XVp) to a region containing multiple segmental duplications [ 1 2 10 ] .
This approach had been pioneered in the classical work of Dobzhansky and Sturtevant who used inversions in Drosophila chromosomes to construct an evolutionary tree [ 12 ] . Subsequently, mathematical methods have been developed to calculate rearrangement distances between genomes, and, using these, phylogenetic trees have been built for certain small genomes, such as plant mitochondria and herpesviruses [ 13 14 ] . These approaches, however, are applicable only to genomes that show significant conservation of global gene order, which is manifestly not the case among prokaryotes [ 15 16 17 ] . Even relatively close species such as, for example, Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae, two species of the γ-subdivision of Proteobacteria, retain very little conservation of gene order beyond the operon level (typically, two-to-four genes in a row), and essentially none is detectable among evolutionarily distant bacteria and archaea [ 15 16 18 ] . Very few operons, primarily those coding for physically interacting subunits of multiprotein complexes such as certain ribosomal proteins or RNA-polymerase subunits, are conserved across a wide range of prokaryotic lineages [ 15 16 ] . On the other hand, pairwise comparisons of even distantly related prokaryotic genomes reveal considerable number of shared (predicted) operons, which creates an opportunity for a meaningful comparative analysis [ 19 ] [ 20 21 ] .
This enabled rapid visualization of large-scale discrepancies, such as collapses or inversions, between the WGS and the phrap assemblies.
But the largest group of gay taunts can be classified as the ped- group, all words inspired by pederasty: pederaj, pederash, pederishka, pederin, pederko, pedal, pedalo, petsa, pechurka, pepos, pedos, pepi, pedikir (a pun on pedicure ), peder, and its facetiously French-sounding inversions derpé and depré.
