Example sentences for: underexpressed

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

  • For a given cell line type, we can also infer which genes are over- or underexpressed compared to other genes based on the estimated latent factors.

  • For example, for breast cancer cell line, the method identified 15 genes or expressed sequence tags (ESTs) that are relatively overexpressed (the estimated latent factor is greater than zero, and is significant at the 0.01 level) and 23 genes or ESTs that are relatively underexpressed (estimated latent factor is less than zero, and is significant at the 0.01 level) in the breast cancer cell lines.

  • Interestingly, we note that genes that are overexpressed include p53, and genes that are underexpressed include that for tumor-associated antigen CO-029.

  • However, the authors caution that this finding was highly influenced by the types and numbers of genes present on any microarray system; in addition, none of the 122 differentially expressed genes in CD and UC was overexpressed in one disease and underexpressed in the other.

  • In Figure 1a, the relative enrichment is indicated by blue numbers for total flagged genes and by red and green numbers for over- and underexpressed genes, respectively.
