Example sentences for: retrotransposition

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

  • To identify L1s in the human genome that might have retrotransposition potential, we identified L1s that were full-length and had intact coding regions.

  • To find examples of exons shuffled via L1 retrotransposition, an analysis similar to the method we used in this study may have to be performed with older subfamilies of L1s.

  • Recent analyses suggest that 70% of non-functional duplicated genes (pseudogenes) in the human genome result from retrotransposition rather than any DNA-based process (Torrents et al.

  • 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].

  • With the exception of the retrotransposition events discussed below, the intron-exon structure of gene models is highly conserved as well: only one case of intron gain was observed in the D. littoralis Rh2 , as has been reported previously for Rh2 in the closely related species,
