Example sentences for: purpuratus
How can you use “purpuratus” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
(2) The primitive condition in bilaterians is most likely a single Runx gene, represented in the deuterostomes of our collection by the sea urchin S. purpuratus and the tunicate C. intestinalis , and in the protostomes of our collection by C. elegans . Runx gene duplications appear to have occurred independently in the lineages leading to vertebrates (which have at least three Runx genes) and insects (which have three or four Runx genes), suggesting that Runx genes in these latter organisms have probably acquired a number of specialized, taxon-specific regulatory functions (e.g.
Note that the nucleotide lengths of the S. purpuratus gene and introns are approximate (based on the lengths estimated for PCR products by gel electrophoresis), as these have not yet been completely sequenced.
Database searches of genomic sequences from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), Caenorhabditis elegans (roundworm), and Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (sea urchin) did not reveal genes encoding the TOX HMG signature sequence (data not shown).
Three Runx genes were identified in the recently completed T. rubripes genome sequence by a TBLASTN search using the S. purpuratus Runt protein sequence as the query sequence at the Fugu BLAST Server of the UK Human Genome Mapping Project Resource Centre http://fugu.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/blast/.
The intron position assignments were aided by an alignment of the acquired C. intestinalis Runx gene with partial cDNA sequences obtained from a TBLASTN search using the S. purpuratus SpRunt-1 protein sequence to query the C. intestinalis cDNA project site at http://ghost.zool.kyoto-u.ac.jp/indexr1.html.
