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

Their introns and regulatory regions are composed of clusters of partial and complete transposable elements, and some introns are hundreds of kilobases in length [ 42, 43, 44, 45, 46].
Satellite blocks of 20 kilobases (kb) to 1 Mb are interrupted by 'islands' of 5-50 kb of complex sequences that contain a high density of transposable elements [ 22, 28, 29, 30].
But, if a substantial portion of the reduction has occurred as large deletion events spanning many kilobases and functionally unrelated genes, the set of genes lost is more reasonably interpreted as the result of selection acting on the composite fitness effects of the set of loci deleted.
With the exception of Arabidopsis thaliana, chromosome IV , the total sequence lengths in kilobases are listed in the fourth column ( kb ) of Table 1. All corresponding sample lengths are at least 96% of total length, and most are close to 99%, when texts were read in 20 kb blocks.
The entire plasmid of pEL702 encompasses about 25 kilobases (kb) and the size of the integrating region flanked by the right and left borders of the Ti plasmid is about 17 kb.
