Example sentences for: syntenic
How can you use “syntenic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
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).
Minor rearrangements of microsyntenic genes could potentially impede high-resolution mapping if placement of the syntenic markers within a relatively large segment indicated a missing sequence fragment, as reported for the comparative mapping of maize and sorghum [ 31].
The longest syntenic fragment, containing the megaoperon of ribosomal proteins that is widely conserved among bacteria, consisted of 89 kb spanning 77 genes in the ancestor and 45 genes in Buchnera.
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).
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).
