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

The C73 locus may preferentially target a postulated 'master' T-DNA, which in turn loses its ability to post-transcriptionally silence the 'subordinate' T-DNA within the E82 locus.
They are congregated preferentially near the midline.
Gene-expression levels were measured using a specialized cDNA microarray, the Lymphochip, containing genes that are preferentially expressed in lymphoid cells or which are of known immunological or oncological importance.
The inverse also holds true, where highly expressed genes, having less error in their measured levels, may not meet an arbitrary fold-change cut-off of 2.0 even when they are truly differentially expressed [ 12 ] . Therefore, selecting differentially regulated genes based only on a single fold change across the entire range of experimental data preferentially selects lowly expressed genes [ 8 ] . This commonly used approach does not accommodate for background noise, variability, non-specific binding, or low copy numbers- characteristics typical of microarray data which may not be homogeneously distributed.
Nine antibodies reported to present exclusively or preferentially at ME cells were selected for this study [ 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ] (Table 1); these included antibodies against SMA, smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SM-MHC), CD10, calponin, protease inhibitor 5 (maspin), Wilms' tumor-1 (WT-1), and cytokeratins 5, 14, and 17 (CK5, CK4, and CK17).
