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

We compared the human genome regions covered by CSEs from Cel2 and MGSCv3 and found that about 90 megabases (Mb) (approximately 3% of the whole human genome) are covered by all CSEs.
Genome sizes in the eubacteria and archaebacteria range from 0.58 megabases (Mb) to around 10 Mb [ 1].
Not only does L1 sequence itself contribute at least 462 megabases (Mb) to our genome (17% of the total length) [ 1 ] , but copies of the Alu and SVA transposable elements and processed pseudogenes are also believed to have inserted into the genome by borrowing the EN and RT proteins encoded by L1 [ 13 20 21 24 25 26 27 ] . In addition to self-mobilization and mobilization of other transposable elements, L1s can also move unique flanking DNA sequence to another locus in the genome in a process known as 3' transduction.
A panel of bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and P1 artificial chromosome (PAC) clones spanning approximately 10 megabases (Mb) of human genome sequence was initially used to characterize the pericentric inversion of human 15q11-q13 in chimpanzee.
Similarly, in birds, a polymorphism at the tenascin locus (which lies a few megabases proximal to Tlr4 in mice) predicts susceptibility to Gram-negative infection [ 30], suggesting that it may lie in linkage disequilibrium with a particular form of the avian Tlr4 gene.
