Example sentences for: meaningful

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

  • Chinese names of places in China itself are of course actually meaningful, although many have become distorted by Westerners.

  • A synthetic form of EPO, human recombinant EPO, has been successfully used to treat anemia in patients with chronic renal failure and HIV [ 1 ] . Some randomized trials (RCT) assessed the role of EPO in anemia related the cancer [ 2 3 ] . However, many of these trials were underpowered and failed to identify clinically meaningful benefits of EPO treatment.

  • This approach had been pioneered in the classical work of Dobzhansky and Sturtevant who used inversions in Drosophila chromosomes to construct an evolutionary tree [ 12 ] . Subsequently, mathematical methods have been developed to calculate rearrangement distances between genomes, and, using these, phylogenetic trees have been built for certain small genomes, such as plant mitochondria and herpesviruses [ 13 14 ] . These approaches, however, are applicable only to genomes that show significant conservation of global gene order, which is manifestly not the case among prokaryotes [ 15 16 17 ] . Even relatively close species such as, for example, Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae, two species of the γ-subdivision of Proteobacteria, retain very little conservation of gene order beyond the operon level (typically, two-to-four genes in a row), and essentially none is detectable among evolutionarily distant bacteria and archaea [ 15 16 18 ] . Very few operons, primarily those coding for physically interacting subunits of multiprotein complexes such as certain ribosomal proteins or RNA-polymerase subunits, are conserved across a wide range of prokaryotic lineages [ 15 16 ] . On the other hand, pairwise comparisons of even distantly related prokaryotic genomes reveal considerable number of shared (predicted) operons, which creates an opportunity for a meaningful comparative analysis [ 19 ] [ 20 21 ] .

  • Two of the Meloidogyne genes revealed by our filters, which encode an L-threonine aldolase gene (MI01644) and a deduced protein of unknown function (MI00109), exhibit striking amino-acid identity to rhizobial proteins (48% and 51% respectively), but a complete absence of meaningful homology with any eukaryotic sequence (Table 3).

  • Therefore, we should choose the interpretation of presence that effectuates the Congressional purpose to provide meaningful representation to H-2A workers under their contracts.
