Example sentences for: syntenic

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

  • Two chromosomal locations in both species harbor two neighboring TMC genes, Tmc5 and Tmc7 on murine chromosome 7, and Tmc6 and Tmc8 on murine chromosome 11; the human orthologues are located on the syntenic regions of chromosomes 16 and 17, respectively [ 7 ] . An additional murine locus on chromosome 8 represents a partial gene fragment, likely a pseudogene of Tmc2 .

  • Assuming that the ancestor had the same complement of tRNAs as E. coli, 15 were lost from within syntenic fragments and 39 were lost in regions between syntenic fragments.

  • These ancient spacers are much shorter than spacers occurring where ancestral genes have been deleted within syntenic fragments (188 bp, n = 165) or than spacers occurring between syntenic fragments (also 188 bp, n = 162).

  • For losses occurring both within and between syntenic fragments, a single lost region frequently contains multiple genes, often involved in seemingly unrelated functions (see, for example, Figures 2and 5).

  • A concentration of rearrangements in the Buchnera lineage is also suggested by the much longer average length of spacers that occur between syntenic fragments as compared to spacers that have the same flanking genes in the ancestor and in E. coli (see above).
