Example sentences for: nematodes
How can you use “nematodes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Runx genes encode the sequence-specific DNA binding subunit of a heterodimeric transcription factor, the defining feature of which is the Runt domain, a highly conserved 128 amino acid sequence involved in DNA binding, heterodimerization, nucleotide binding, and nuclear localization [ 1 2 ] . The Runt domain is named after the first member of the family to be discovered, the regulatory gene runt from Drosophila melanogaster . Runx genes have also been discovered and functionally characterized in mammals, sea urchins and nematodes, and in general are involved in the transcriptional control of developmental processes [ 3 4 ] . In humans, mutations in each of the three Runx genes are associated with disease caused by defective control of cell proliferation and/or differentiation [ 4 5 ] . Most studies of Runx gene function and regulation have been carried out in mammals and in D. melanogaster , each of which has multiple Runx genes.
Drosophila and Anopheles (data not shown) may imply that their functions overlap to a greater extent in insects than in nematodes.
The only previous analysis of root knot nematodes ESTs [ 29 ] used 914 ESTs from M. incognita L2 without clustering and with non-automated assignment of genes to categories.
Genes that were transferred from bacteria to nematodes would pass through our phylogenetic filter if the transfer event occurred subsequent to the divergence of the C. elegans and Meloidogyne lineages (Figure 1).
Whole-genome analysis of the Release 2 sequence suggested that Drosophila has fewer newly duplicated genes than nematodes or yeast [ 41].
