Example sentences for: microsynteny
How can you use “microsynteny” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Although evidence of microsynteny was found for the region surrounding Shal , flanking genes of the other channels did not provide evidence of microsynteny between Anopheles and Drosophila at these regions.
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].
In our study, BLASTN searches using default parameters enabled us to find a high level of microsynteny without encountering any major differences between the highest-scoring matches in either TBLASTX or BLASTN searches (data not shown).
On the basis of recent comparative sequence analyses showing well-conserved microsynteny between the tomato and Arabidopsis genomes within relatively small regions [ 10, 11], we applied microsynteny-based comparative mapping to facilitate the positional cloning of the Dgt gene and successfully reduced the genetic interval with new molecular markers.
Thus it is important to point out that the strictly co-linear microsynteny we detect between Drosophila species differs from the 'hyphenated' microsynteny with multiple gene losses and gains between Drosophila and Anopheles [ 32].
