How can you use “tails” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
[ 40] who found that elements with patterned tails could be converted to elements with heritable poly(A) tails.
A large percentage of the Mut-3 animals had kinked tails, while in the Mut-1 line it was a rare finding.
..) [ 23 ] . Since these poly(A) tails themselves contain polyadenylation signals, it is possible that their assignments as poly(A) tails are false positives, and the real tail formed by polyadenylation has shortened over time and is not detectable [ 44 46 47 ] . Four of the remaining L1-TDs for which no polyadenylation signal was found appeared to result from multiple sequential transduction events; we did not have family members that align with the 3' end of the transduced sequence to determine whether the poly(A) stretch could have been encoded in DNA.
Alternatively, it has been reported that the poly(A) tails of retrotransposons may be a source for the creation of microsatellites through post-insertional mutations [ 24, 54]; the patterned tails we found may therefore exemplify this transition from poly(A) tail to microsatellites.
We found that both standard insertion events and putative 3' transduction events have very similar poly(A) tails of average length 18 nucleotides and 86% A content.
