Example sentences for: ohno

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

  • 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 '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].

  • 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 failure of empirical research to support Ohno's model has led to the proposal of two alternative hypotheses.

  • For some genes, duplication confers an immediate selective advantage by facilitating elevated expression, or as Ohno put it, ‘duplication for the sake of producing more of the same’.
