Example sentences for: semi-dominant

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

The fact that we recovered recessive, semi-dominant, and dominant mutants in additional tab genes suggests that there are likely to be multiple dosage-sensitive positive and negative regulatory controls that act downstream of or parallel to CDC15.
Fourteen mutants were assigned to three recessive and three semi-dominant/dominant linkage groups (Table 2).
The same crosses were also used to determine if Tab +was recessive or dominant: for every tab mutant, haploid cdc15Δ tab [pMET3-cdcl5-2, URA3] and diploid cdc15Δ/cdc15Δ tab/+ [pMET3-cdc15-2, URA3 ] cells were pre-grown on YPD (1% yeast extract/2% peptone + 2% glucose) at 25°C for 2-3 days, spotted in 5-fold serial dilutions onto SD+5-FOA plates, and the number of 5-FOA resistant colonies from the diploid was divided by that from the haploid to obtain ratio P. The mutant was defined to be dominant if P= 0.1-1, semi-dominant if P= 0.01-0.
The history of the T locus began with the discovery in 1927 of a semi-dominant mutation in mice, named Brachyury , or T for tail, that affects both embryonic viability in homozygotes and tail development in heterozygotes [ 1 ] . This original T allele represents a deletion spanning 160-200 kb (reviewed in [ 2 ] ), the developmental effects of which have been well characterized [ 3 4 5 6 7 8 ] . Homozygous mutant embryos show a developmental failure of the notochord and posterior mesoderm, and die at midgestation.
