Example sentences for: microsynteny
How can you use “microsynteny” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Conservation of microsynteny between genes and flanking intergenic regions may reveal structural and functional connections in the genome, and thus it may be possible to associate functional non-coding sequences with the appropriate flanking gene through genome rearrangements (see also [ 30]).
Recent comparative sequence analyses and mapping studies have indicated that microsynteny and macrosynteny are also well conserved between Arabidopsis and evolutionarily divergent species such as tomato [ 10, 11] or soybean [ 12].
Although exceptions to the blanket application of this approach have been noted [ 22], our study successfully applied microsynteny analysis between the tomato and Arabidopsis genomes to facilitate positional cloning of the Dgt gene in tomato.
In this case, conservation of microsynteny is most probably maintained because of the nested relationship of these genes, and this configuration in the outgroup Anopheles supports the scenario that transposition of Rh4 occurred at some point in the lineage leading to the Drosophila subgenus (see above, and [ 29, 30]).
This conservation of microsynteny between the eve coding and 3' CNCSs is consistent with the fact that this region is known to contain multiple enhancer sequences that regulate embryonic eve expression [ 50, 51].
