Example sentences for: retrotransposition

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

  • Not all interspersed duplicate genes are generated by retrotransposition.

  • Another striking example of retrotransposition involves the D. littoralis Rh4 gene and illustrates the fact that functionally important genes can undergo dramatic changes in location and gene structure during genome evolution [ 29].

  • Furthermore, this suggests that the specificity of the initial step of the retrotransposition is conserved in all classes of elements.

  • At least one novel gene, the CG2222 -like gene D. willistoni , is likely to have originated from a retrotransposition event as this gene lacks introns while its closest homolog, found on a different chromosome arm in the D. melanogaster genome, has two introns.

  • The progenitor elements of these insertions were always full-length or near full-length L1s with intact ORFs that were active in retrotransposition assays [ 11, 14, 35, 36, 37].
