How can you use “ohno” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The conventional view, pioneered by Susumu Ohno, holds that a gene duplication produces two functionally redundant, paralogous genes and thereby frees one of them from selective constraints.
The same result would have been obtained if, in accordance with Ohno's original model, one of the paralogs was free from selective constraints, whereas the other one was maintained by purifying selection.
The prescience of Ohno's book is highlighted by the fact that his book has almost certainly been cited more times in the past five years than in the first five years after its publication.
The inconsistency of empirical evidence with Ohno's model prompts questions on the validity of some of the assumptions underlying this model.
The 'subfunctionalization' hypothesis is based on the same assumption as Ohno's model, namely that duplicated genes are redundant in function and, accordingly, a duplication event is selectively neutral [ 6, 10].
