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

We also used the cDNA alignments to detect 'micro-exons', very short exons that are typically missed by both gene-finding programs and alignment algorithms.
However, both Genie and GENSCAN gene models were often wrong in detail, when compared to cDNA sequence alignments for three main reasons: first, exon mis-associations: the programs placed exons from one gene with the exons of a neighboring or nested gene; second, erroneous splice site calls: the donor and acceptor sites were slightly misplaced; or third, missed mini- and micro-exons: small ORFs were not identified [ 20, 66].
Using new software protocols we developed, we found 47 micro-exons, ranging from 3 to 25 base pairs (bp) in length, distributed evenly across all five chromosomes.
To find micro-exons, we analyzed the results of sim4 alignments using all 5,016 Ceres cDNAs.
In comparison to the other alignment programs examined, GeneSeqer proved to be highly competent in identifying micro-exons; 46 of the 47 micro-exons were identified by GeneSeqer using the default settings.
