Words similar to metazoans
Example sentences for: metazoans
How can you use “metazoans” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
RNA triphosphatase is an attractive therapeutic target for fungal infections because: (i) the active site structure and catalytic mechanism of fungal RNA triphosphatase are completely different from the RNA triphosphatase domain of the metazoan capping enzyme and (ii) metazoans encode no identifiable homologs of the fungal RNA triphosphatases.
Gene products in this category are generally widely conserved across metazoans and many are involved in core biological processes.
The Toll-like receptor family [ 49], which has evolutionary roots throughout invertebrate metazoans for pattern-based recognition of bacterial and fungal cell-surface components [ 50], activate NFκB through convergent pathways involving the IL-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK), the adaptor protein MyD88, TRAF6, NFκB-inducing kinase (NIK), and IκB kinase (Iκk) [ 51].
Characterized examples of endogenous antisense RNA in metazoans can be broadly divided into two categories (see [ 1, 2] for extensive review).
The generation of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) by single-pass random sequencing of cDNA libraries is a powerful tool for rapid gene transcript identification in metazoans [ 14 15 16 17 ] including parasitic nematodes of humans and animals [ 18 19 20 21 22 23 ] . High-throughput projects on two dozen nematode species have now brought the total number of publicly available roundworm ESTs to nearly 400,000, with half the sequences coming from parasites [ 24 25 26 27 ] . As a part of these efforts, EST sequencing from plant parasitic nematodes is in progress [ 28 ] and pilot EST datasets from the root-knot nematode M. incognita and the cyst nematodes Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida second-stage larvae have recently been analyzed [ 29 30 ] .
