Example sentences for: lgt
How can you use “lgt” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Since the basic single-copy repertoire of dispersed aromatic-pathway genes shown in Figure 2for Synechocystis (Ssp) is representative of other cyanobacteria such as Synechococcus (Syn) and Prochlorococcus (Pmu) and is also present at dispersed extra-operonic loci of Anabaena and Nostoc , an obvious possibility would seem to be that the genes of the supraoperon originated by LGT in a common ancestor of Anabaena and Nostoc . If so, speciation was followed by different species-specific gene-insertion events.
C. burnetii was also considered as a possible source of the low-GC gene block in X. fastidiosa because it possesses trpR . This potential LGT event seems ruled out because trpR is not near any structural genes encoding TrpAa and TrpAb in C. burnetti; C. burnetii TrpAa and TrpAb are not close to the corresponding X. fastidiosa enzymes on phylogenetic trees; and C. burnetii lacks the remaining genes in the low-GC gene block of X.fastidiosa .
We evaluated whether the closest BLAST hits, using as queries the amino-acid sequences corresponding to the operonic genes of Anabaena or Nostoc , would be with other cyanobacteria (and therefore consistent with origin by gene duplication) or with another taxon grouping (consistent with LGT).
This homology is shared across a wide range of species and thus could have contributed to a natural transformation-mediated LGT event in P. stutzeri . This mechanism of acquisition is supported by the fact that no phage genes, transposase coding sequences, IS elements, or repeat sequences were found in the 25.
What is the origin of the LGT gene block?
