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

In our system, a trans-silenced singlet gene (L91') was able to trans-silence a naive homolog (E82) within a single generation.
A diagnostic PCR assay was developed for the L91, E82, and C73 loci to unambiguously identify F2 segregants containing a trans-silenced L91 or E82 target locus but lacking the C73 silencer locus (Fig.
However, the endogenous p1-rr allele of maize did acquire paramutagenicity after exposure to a specific P1 -enhancer transgene [ 11 ] . Against this background we investigated the possible relay of an imprint triggered by the Arabidopsis C73 trans-silencer locus, asking specifically whether targets trans-silenced by the C73 locus (a) acquired trans-silencing activity, and (b) were able to pass their imprint on to a naive target locus in a heritable fashion.
In contrast to the epigenetic activity of trans-silenced L91', E82' had no such activity.
It seemed problematic to test whether the trans-silenced L91 locus (henceforth termed L91') can paramutate a naive L91 allele, because we cannot distinguish between the L91' master and the L91 target at the molecular level.
