Example sentences for: target-site-primed

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

  • A full-length L1 insertion in the genome is approximately 6,000 nucleotides long and consists of a 5' untranslated region (UTR), two open reading frames (ORFs), and a 3' UTR terminating in a poly(A) tail [ 11 ] . The second ORF of L1 encodes three domains critical for L1 propagation: endonuclease (EN) [ 12 ] , reverse transcriptase (RT) [ 13 14 ] , and a 3' terminal zinc-finger-like domain [ 15 ] . The EN and RT nick a target site in DNA and reverse transcribe L1 RNA, respectively, to integrate into a new genomic locus [ 12 16 17 18 ] ; this process is known as target-site-primed reverse transcription (TPRT).

  • They propagate by being transcribed from an internal RNA polymerase II promoter [ 15, 16], and then use their endonuclease and reverse transcriptase respectively to nick a target site and reverse transcribe L1 RNA, integrating the L1 into a new genomic locus [ 12, 17, 18]; this process is known as target-site-primed reverse transcription (TPRT).
