Example sentences for: sparse

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

  • An early study on DNA microarray hybridization found that hybridization was strongly dependent on the rate constants for DNA adsorption/desorption in the non-probe covered regions of the surface, the two-dimensional diffusion coefficient, and the size of probes and targets and also suggested that sparse probe coverage may provide results equal to or better than those obtained with a surface totally covered with DNA probes [ 19 ] . A theoretical analysis of the kinetics of DNA hybridization demonstrated that diffusion was important in determining the time of required to reach equilibrium and was proportional to the equilibrium binding constant and to the concentration of binding sites [ 20 ] . A recent theoretical and experimental analysis of competitive hybridization in a two-color system demonstrated the need for the hybridization kinetics of the two probes to be the same [ 21 ] . An elegant study on the use of hybridization kinetics to differentiate specific from non-specific binding was recently published [ 22 ] . This study found that the hybridization kinetics for specific and non-specific binding of labeled cRNA to surface-bound oligodeoxyribonucleotides were significantly different, with specific binding requiring longer to reach hybridization equilibrium than non-specific binding.

  • When cells were inoculated at high density, ultramicroextensions appeared earlier, but ultramicroextensions were rarely seen even after incubation for prolonged periods in sparse cultures or when the cells did not make contact (data not shown).

  • It refers to His vulgar vocabulary and facility in slang, but—more important—it offers oddities like a reference to learning by rote on page 105 and to Pidgin on page 41: upon looking both up, I found nothing about rote learning on page 105 and nothing about Pidgin on page 41; nor was either listed in the sparse index.

  • Based on the sparse evidence available, linguists theorized about the earlier languages that had given rise to those attested.

  • The recommendation comes from the court's Task Force on Civil Equal Justice Funding, created in 2001 to look for ways to cope with the sparse amount of money available for such cases.
