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

Cosuppression of the endogenous COP1 gene is a consequence of posttranscriptional silencing, while transcriptionally trans-silenced loci do not cosuppress COP1 [ 27 ] . In our hands, a subset of four 35S:GFP-COP1 transgene loci shifted from a cosuppressing state, bona fide PTGS, to a non-cosuppressing state, i.e.
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.
In contrast, to our knowledge, no trans-silenced transgene has been shown to acquire heritable trans-silencing ability suggesting that perhaps trans-silencing ability is more difficult to relay between non-allelic transgenes than between allelic loci.
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.
