Example sentences for: pericentric

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

Another important difference between cohesin binding along arms and at centromeres is that the arm sites do not appear to be dependent on a DNA consensus sequence, whereas binding to pericentric regions requires specific centromere sequence [13,14].
This is in contrast to the increased number of tandem duplications found in the pericentric regions of mammalian chromosomes [ 22].
Presumably both arm and pericentric cohesion are important for chromosome dynamics, but the functional differences between the two are not well understood.
The approximately 1 Mb (1,008,705 base-pairs (bp)) interval encompassing the entire pericentric inversion breakpoint interval and the adjacent unique (that is, present on only one chromosome arm in PTR) FISH probes was extracted from the November 2002 human genome assembly and compared to the entire genome using MEGABLAST.
Upon hybridization of this probe to a panel of human, pygmy chimpanzee, common chimpanzee and gorilla genomic DNAs, two bands were observed in the human sample and a single band was noted in all great ape species, providing further evidence that the CHRNA7 duplication was specific to humans and was not present at the time of the pericentric inversion event in the chimpanzee genome.
