Words similar to orthologous

Example sentences for: orthologous

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

The use of the orthologous comparisons with a lower K s , and thus with potentially stronger selection in the synonymous sites, could, in principle, bias our comparison of the K n /K s ratio.
COGs containing 60 or more members were excluded because of potential uncertainty of orthologous relationship between members of such large groups [ 18].
We next aligned the 24 pairs of orthologous Drosophila pre-miRNA sequences and assessed their pattern of nucleotide divergence.
Under this scenario, synonymous divergence could be substantially underestimated for paralogous, but not for orthologous genes in our dataset, falsely suggesting an acceleration of evolution of amino-acid substitutions (larger K n /K s values) in paralogous genes.
A subset of probable orthologous pairs that met the criteria used for identification of paralogs (score density of 1.5 bit/position and aligned over at least 95% of their lengths) was selected.
