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

A screen of a HeLa cell library yielded 56 colonies that tested positive in the two hybrid assays (growth on plates lacking histidine or uracil, lack of growth on plates containing 5-fluoroorotic acid; and induction of lacZ resulting in blue color when assayed with X-gal).
Adenine was associated with the highest readthrough and uracil with the lowest.
To overcome this growth defect, uracil was added to YP plates to a final concentration of 80 μM.
The genomes of primates contain a family of nine APOBEC genes that encode enzymes involved in the editing of RNA and/or DNA through the deamination of cytosine (C), so that this nucleotide mutates to uracil (U).
Finally, earlier studies have noted that methylation of cytosines (generating MeC) in ribopolynucleotides stabilizes duplexes to the same extent as substitution of thymine (MeU) for uracil [ 28 ] . Thus, although it is still surprising that MeC and MeU decrease hybridization intensities, it is not surprising that the magnitude of the effects generated by MeC and MeU residues are similar.
