Words similar to spacer

Example sentences for: spacer

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

Clustering of CNCSs and conservation of CNCS spacing are not expected under a mutational cold-spot hypothesis, and suggest that the spacer intervals between CNCSs, and therefore CNCSs themselves, are under functional constraint.
This longer spacer length can be interpreted as arising from remnants of genes that were rendered functionless when rearrangements occurred.
Given the rapid rate of DNA loss for unconstrained sequences in Drosophila [ 48, 49], it is difficult to understand the mere existence of spacer intervals, as well as their conservation of length, without invoking some form of functional constraint acting on these sequences.
The deviation from expected results from an excess of short and long spacer intervals, indicating that CNCSs are clustered in the Drosophila genome.
These results suggest that spacer interval sequences between CNCSs (and therefore CNCSs themselves) are functionally constrained, and provide evidence against the hypothesis that CNCSs are simply mutational cold spots.
