How can you use “synteny” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We have exploited mouse-human synteny and the availability of draft assemblies of the mouse and human genomes to generate a set of around 1.15 million mouse-human sequence alignments.
While the user interacts with the synteny display, the non-graphical AnnotationEditor class directly manages the edits.
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.
This presents new opportunities to detect synteny groups and facilitates the comparison of splicing patterns and orthologous sequences between these two organisms.
Some genes deleted within regions of synteny persist as partially degraded sequences that range from pseudogenes having clear homology with the E. coli ortholog [ 8], to much shortened sequences with no recognizable sequence homology.
