Example sentences for: paracentric

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

We can directly confirm the nature of one rearrangement ( D. littoralis ftz ) as a paracentric micro-inversion since both breakpoints are contained within a single fosmid clone.
In this case, a small (approximately 14 kb) region containing the ftz coding sequence and flanking non-coding DNA is inverted between the Antp and Scr genes relative to D. melanogaster . Maier et al . [ 25] provide hybrization data for a similar rearrangement in the ftz locus of D. hydei , another member of the subgenus Drosophila . It is likely that the other rearrangement breakpoints we observe also result from paracentric inversions, the predominant form of genome rearrangement in Drosophila [ 26].
The homology of Muller's elements can be extended to A. gambiae [ 23, 31]; however it is clear that a substantial fraction of rearrangements between these species must occur by other mechanisms than paracentric inversion.
Genome rearrangement in Drosophila typically occurs through paracentric inversion, allowing the homology of chromosome arms to be maintained over millions of years.
