Example sentences for: knirps
How can you use “knirps” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
There are a sufficient number of binding sites in the literature (see additional File 1and 2) for us to construct frequency weight matrices for the maternal transription factors Bicoid (Bcd), Caudal (Cad) and Dorsal (Dl), as well as the zygotic gap gene factors Hunchback (Hb), Kruppel (Kr), Knirps (Kni), and Tailless (Tll), and the torso response element (torRE).
However for several well studied segmentation genes (specifically even-skipped, giant, hairy, hunchback, knirps, Kruppel, and tailless), with 15 known modules, we squarely hit 7 when looking over the entire 10 kb upstream of translation start (gt, kni, Kr-730, Kr-CD2, eve3-7, eve autoregulatory element, h-7), Fig.
We collected a total of 199 experimentally characterized sites for the factors bicoid (30 sites), caudal (21), dorsal (32), hunchback (43), knirps (27), kruppel (20), tailless (20), and torRE (6).
One of the top scoring modules is the hunchback central stripe module, other particularly interesting hits are in the intron of knirps and 18 kb upstream of hairy outside the known regulatory region, and proximal to emc, a known transcriptional co-repressor.
