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 .
If a chromosome carries multiple replication forks as usual at 37°C in rich media, more than one double-strand break may be necessary to form a non-circular, branched species, which should be able to move through the gel.
Abundance of these huge non-circular forms is expected to be affected by several factors, which might work potentially in opposite directions, such as: (i) breakage in the cell; (ii) degradation in the cell; (iii) repair in the cell; (iv) breakage and degradation out of the cell.
This result, at least, excludes the possibility that the absence of the large, non-circular chromosomes in some strains (Figure 2) reflects the absence of DNAs in the wells during the process or by extensive and general nuclease action.
Our sensitive measurements of the large non-circular forms of the chromosome - which should be able to detect one ds break out of 4 million bp - provided unique sets of data that would help in further elucidating the mechanisms of chromosome double-strand break repair.
