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

Data from the sea urchin, Arbacia punctulata, fertilization test may be analyzed by hypothesis testing after an arc sine transformation according to the flowchart in Figure 2. The fertilization data from the sea urchin test may also be analyzed by generating a point estimate with the Linear Interpolation Method.
Also collected in the set for comparison were the previously-described Runx genes from D. melanogaster ( runt and lozenge [ 7 ] ), Caenorhabditis elegans ( run [ 8 ] ), sea urchin ( SpRunt [ 9 10 ] ), T. rubripes ( TrRunx2 [ 11 ] ), and mouse ( Runx1 , Runx2 , and Runx3 ; the three human RUNX genes, which have been extensively characterized previously, are highly similar to their mouse orthologues [ 12 13 ] and hence were not included in the collected set).
Experimental studies of invertebrates that contain only a single Runx gene (sea urchin, tunicate, and nematode) are therefore likely to highlight primitive (general) functions of this family of transcription factors in the control of cell fate, proliferation, and differentiation during metazoan development.
The data sets included short-term chronic toxicity tests for the sea urchin, Arbacia punctulata, the sheepshead minnow, Cyprinodon variegatus, and the red macroalga, Champia parvula.
The gene and intron lengths for the sea urchin gene SpRunt are approximate and based on PCR products obtained from a BAC clone [ 10 ] that has not yet been completely sequenced.
