Example sentences for: non-allelic
How can you use “non-allelic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Here, combining a master locus (C73) with a non-allelic singlet locus possessing 100% sequence identity (L91) resulted in immediate trans-silencing, as seen by a reduction of GFP-COP1 expression and block of cosuppression, which was stably maintained in the presence or absence of the master locus.
In contrast, in the PAI gene family, combining the master locus (WS ecotype PAI1/PAI4 ) with a non-allelic singlet target locus possessing 100% sequence identity (Columbia PAI2 ) resulted in methylation after two generations of heterozygous contact, and methylation became more pronounced after another two generations [ 12 ] . Likewise, in the petunia CHS gene family, interaction between an epiallele of the direct-repeat locus, CHS41, with two types of target loci, either an unlinked inverted repeat locus or a more naïve allele of CHS41, was initially additive and only became suppressive in the second generation [ 4 10 ] .
In contrast, to our knowledge, no trans-silenced transgene has been shown to acquire heritable trans-silencing ability suggesting that perhaps trans-silencing ability is more difficult to relay between non-allelic transgenes than between allelic loci.
Second, the imprint left on the L91 locus by the C73 trans-silencer did modify L91's epistatic interaction with a non-allelic target locus, E82, as seen in the F1 generation.
These data suggest that the competence for trans-silencing may be transferred between non-allelic transgenes, reminiscent of the allelic transfer of epigenetic activity during paramutation.
