Example sentences for: littoralis

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

  • As micro-inversions (such as that seen in the D. littoralis ftz region) are not expected to be included in cytological estimates, this claim will have to be re-evaluated using large-scale comparative sequence data in Drosophila .

  • These data show that predicted genes tend to have a higher rate of amino-acid substitution than known genes in the genus Drosophila . This trend is significant for the three most closely related pairwise comparisons ( D. melanogaster versus D. erecta, D. pseudoobscura or D. willistoni ) but non-significant in the comparison involving the most distantly related species ( D. melanogaster versus D. littoralis ). No significant differences were detected in the rates of silent site substitution between known and predicted genes in any pairwise comparison, although predicted genes in D. pseudoobscura, D. willistoni and

  • The other four cases arise from gene transposition including: a homolog of the D. melanogaster X-chromosome gene CG2222 in the D. willistoni eve region; a homolog of the D. melanogaster 3R-chromosome gene CG5245 in the D. pseudoobscura Rh1 region; a homolog of the D. melanogaster 3R-chromosome gene CG8319 in the D. willistoni Rh1 region, and the Rh4 gene in D. littoralis (see below).

  • D. willistoni and D. melanogaster are both members of the subgenus Sophophora ; thus these two species are expected to share more aspects of their biology in common than either will with D. littoralis.

  • We can directly confirm the nature of one rearrangement ( D. littoralis ftz ) as a paracentric micro-inversion since both breakpoints are contained within a single fosmid clone.
