Example sentences for: lepidopteran

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

If homologs of the cg4715 gene are conserved among Diptera and Lepidoptera, the interrelationship between members of the baculoviridae and TED, the lepidopteran gypsy element capable of integrating into both a host insect and a baculovirus genome, provides a clear pathway via DNA recombination for the exchange of members of the ld130 gene family between host cells, baculovirus genomes, and the transposable element.
The latter included one dipteran gypsy sequence, the lepidopteran gypsy -like element TED [ 19], and the Drosophila cellular protein cg4715.
In TED, the lepidopteran retrovirus-like element, seven of the C-terminal cysteine residues are conserved.
For example, an LD130 homolog from PxGV, PX26 [ 9] showed significance values of 10 -10with the envelope protein of TED, a lepidopteran retrovirus-like retrotransposon [ 17], and in the 10 -4to 10 -10range for a number of other predicted envelope proteins from retrovirus-like retrotransposons from other insects, particularly members from the genus Drosophila . Searches with other members of the ld130 family showed values of 10 -4to 10 -6to these proteins.
Current evidence suggests that lepidopteran baculoviruses may be divided into two phylogenetic groups based on the envelope fusion proteins of budded virions [ 3].
