Words similar to non-circular

Example sentences for: non-circular

How can you use “non-circular” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

We found that large, non-circular forms of the chromosome accumulate in varying amounts in various recombination-defective mutants of Escherichia coli .
The accumulation of the non-circular, broken chromosomes correlated with the growth rate or DNA damage response in most of the recBC -minus background [ 30 ] . The recB or recC null mutation showed low viability even in the absence of exogenous DNA damage [ 31 32 ] . A simple interpretation of these data is that RecA, RecFOR, and RecQJ functions (and RecET functions for the sbcA background) repair chromosome breakage and/or prevent generation of the breakage.
Our operational definition of the non-circular forms is their presence in an area just below the well in our pulsed-field gel, as marked by a bar in Figure 1. The molecular species in this area may not be limited to a simple linear form of varying lengths.
On the other hand, further degradation of the huge, non-circular forms would result in shorter or no fragments, which will run faster in the gel.
For example, RecF-mediated homologous recombination may transform a circular chromosome, possibly with a spontaneous damage, into some type of non-circular forms.
