Example sentences for: micro-exons
How can you use “micro-exons” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
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.
A listing of these micro-exons from all chromosomes is shown in Table 4. Note that in some cases the length of the micro-exons is not a multiple of three; for these, one of the preceding or following exons had its boundary realigned to maintain the reading frame.
One indication that these micro-exons are correct (in addition to the identity with the cDNA) is that many of them are homologous to exons in other Arabidopsis genes.
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.
