Words similar to littoralis
Example sentences for: littoralis
How can you use “littoralis” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Changes in the median CNCS length reflect changes in the overall distribution of CNCS lengths in pairwise comparisons between D. melanogaster and either D. erecta, D. pseudoobscura, D. willistoni , or D. littoralis (Figure 5).
With the exception of the retrotransposition events discussed below, the intron-exon structure of gene models is highly conserved as well: only one case of intron gain was observed in the D. littoralis Rh2 , as has been reported previously for Rh2 in the closely related species,
Another striking example of retrotransposition involves the D. littoralis Rh4 gene and illustrates the fact that functionally important genes can undergo dramatic changes in location and gene structure during genome evolution [ 29].
The stability of this distribution at more extreme evolutionary distances is apparently insensitive to changes in the proportion of non-coding DNA that is conserved (compare D. willistoni and D. littoralis ). Shown for comparison is the distribution of CNCS lengths between D. melanogaster and D. virilis from [ 44], as well as a reanalysis of this data using the current methods.
In contrast, divergent species in the genus Drosophila (such as D. littoralis and D. willistoni ) show similar properties to each other and to D. pseudoobscura in terms of their utility for identifying functionally constrained coding or non-coding sequences.
