Example sentences for: retrovirus-like

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

In TED, the lepidopteran retrovirus-like element, seven of the C-terminal cysteine residues are conserved.
Evidence suggests that at least some of these retrovirus-like elements are infectious and have been classified as insect retroviruses [ 13, 14, 15] or errantiviruses [ 16].
For example, an LD130 homolog from PxGV, PX26 [ 9] showed significance values of 10 -10with the envelope protein of TED, a lepidopteran retrovirus-like retrotransposon [ 17], and in the 10 -4to 10 -10range for a number of other predicted envelope proteins from retrovirus-like retrotransposons from other insects, particularly members from the genus Drosophila . Searches with other members of the ld130 family showed values of 10 -4to 10 -6to these proteins.
Routine BLAST searches of the database with individual members of the LD130 family of baculovirus proteins revealed high levels of similarity with a set of predicted envelope proteins from a number of insect retrovirus-like retrotransposons.
Indeed, a phylogenetic analysis of the envelope protein of these elements reported by Malik et al [ 23] suggests that they are derived from a monophyletic event that resulted from their incorporation of a baculovirus envelope protein gene in an ancestral member of these retrovirus-like elements.
