Example sentences for: retrotransposition

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

  • This enabled us to carry out a large-scale study of L1 sequence features related to the molecular mechanisms involved in retrotransposition.

  • 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].

  • Relatively recent retrotransposition events can be recognized in genomic DNA with computational sequence analysis tools; however, the precise determination of the boundaries of L1 elements is complicated by the highly variable sequence and anatomy of L1 insertions.

  • It is important to note that pseudogenes are common in the human genome, and are thought to largely originate from gene duplication or retrotransposition [ 27].

  • In the ORF1 protein, residues critical for retrotransposition include the following conserved blocks of amino acids: REKG (235-238), ARR (residues 260-262), and YPAKLS (282-287) [ 14].
