Example sentences for: synteny
How can you use “synteny” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The synteny display is being used to improve annotations by closely examining the mouse-to-human comparisons.
Similarly, the murine Tox gene family is distributed across four different chromosomes, in regions of synteny conserved between mouse and human (Fig.
Recent analyses of synteny disruptions between man and mouse, although valuable, do not provide the level of detail afforded by the comparison of closely related species such as chimpanzee and human [ 4 5 ] .
Comparative genomics and more specialized fields such as comparative virology, etc., involve the comparison of DNA sequences, genes and genomes [ 12 13 14 ] . Recent rapid data acquisition is allowing the analyses of whole genome sequences, especially the smaller genomes such as mitochondria and chloroplasts [ 15 16 17 ] , as well as the larger bacterial genomes [ 18 19 ] and large tracts of eukaryotic chromosomes, especially from related organisms [ 12 13 14 20 21 22 23 ] . These studies include the determination of the order of genes, i.e., co-linearity [ 24 25 ] , the location of synteny [ 26 27 28 ] and the identification of clusters of orthologous genes [cog] between two genomes [ 21 22 23 ] . Along similar lines of thought, it should be extremely useful to locate, identify and catalog the sets of "core" genes common to these genomes-genomes which otherwise may be related or semi-related or unrelated in other respects.
Conservation of synteny is well documented in closely related species within the same family: for example, Arabidopsis and Brassica oleracea [ 6]; rice and barley [ 7]; and tomato, potato and capsicum [ 8, 9].
