Words similar to organ-specific

Example sentences for: organ-specific

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

The apparent low number of tissue- or organ-specific genes observed in maize is also consistent with other microarray studies indicating that only around 25% of Arabidopsis genes displayed significant (> 2-fold) difference in three organ comparisons: seed, root and leaf [ 40] or root, leaf and flower [ 11].
These results imply that the differentiated state of maize tissues and organs is characterized by combinations of small numbers of differentially expressed (> 4-fold) tissue- or organ-specific genes among the 5,376 genes in this study.
These are candidate tissue- or organ-specific genes.
A complication of this interpretation is that some members of gene families will cross-hybridize, making it difficult to resolve whether there are large numbers of organ-specific genes within such families.
The organ-specific expression pattern of these genes may spark interest in defining their physiological functions.
