Example sentences for: orthologs

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

  • 95 [ 41 42 ] [ 43 ] . Trees were constructed from the distance matrices obtained with the above distance estimates using the neighbor-joining method [ 40 ] as implemented in the NEIGHBOR program of the PHYLIP package [ 44 ] . Bootstrap values were estimated by resampling the set of orthologs identified for each pair of genomes 1000 times and reconstructing trees from the distributions of the distances from these resampled sets.

  • Pairs of orthologs between C. trachomatis and C. muridarum

  • Orthologs of Arabidopsis flowering genes have been identified in several other species, including pea and snapdragon [ 3 ] , rice [ 4 ] , maize [ 5 ] , pine [ 6 ] and ryegrass [ 7 ] . In addition, transformation of one plant species with constructs resulting in the over-expression of flowering genes from another plant species resulted in effects on flowering dynamics [ 3 7 8 ] . This indicates that the function of several flowering genes is conserved between plant species.

  • Since the presently characterized mammalian yCCR4 ortholog has conserved the ability to bind yPOP2 homologs and displays high sequence similarities with yCCR4 in the nuclease core domain, it suggests that the mammalian yCCR4 orthologs might also be associated with a deadenylase function.

  • We compared rates of change in archaebacterial versus eubacterial sequences using paralogous sequences (those related by gene duplication) as a root for relative rate tests [ 47 48 ] . To examine rate differences between eukaryotic sequences and their closest prokaryote orthologs (those representing the same gene), we used the more distant prokaryote (archaebacteria or eubacteria) as root.
