Example: "The merger was a significant event, marking a case of acquisition that would reshape the industry landscape."
Alternatives: "an instance of acquisition" or "a situation of acquisition".
The above analysis of the non-ancestral protein families already identified a case of gene acquisition by SAG viruses from the host; we completed this study by investigating the phylogenetic affinities in the ancestral protein family subset.
None of these proteins appear to have any relationship with other Legionella-related ORFs, and seem to be a clear case of acquisition by HGT.
Hence, it may represent a case of relatively recent acquisition of a new catalytic activity.
A case of such intron acquisition has been reported for the RNF113B retrogene that encodes a RING finger protein (a predicted E3 subunit of ubiquitin ligase of unknown specificity) and is present in the genomes of all primates [ 101].
To present a case of aberrant follicular development, acquisition of mature oocytes, and pregnancy after 2 weeks of leuprolide acetate administration during the midluteal phase.
OBJECTIVE: To present a case of aberrant follicular development, acquisition of mature oocytes, and pregnancy after 2 weeks of leuprolide acetate administration during the midluteal phase.
In case of acquisition of colonization, patients have an additional transient state before discharge, corresponding to a time-dependent binary covariate (CPE colonization).
Transposable elements are a major source of tandem repeats although a few cases of acquisition of satellite repeat monomers by transposable elements have also been reported.
The best example is the group IB intron at position 1146 in cox1, also found in the volvocaleans Chlamydomonas eugametos, Pleodorina starii, and Volvox carteri, the ulvophycean Pseudendoclonium akinetum, and the prasinophyte Monomastix sp. It is unclear whether this is a case of multiple losses or multiple acquisitions of the intron.
