The phrase "a sequence of duplication" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing processes, patterns, or phenomena that involve repeated elements or actions.
Example: "In genetics, a sequence of duplication can lead to variations in the DNA structure, affecting the traits of an organism."
Alternatives: "a series of repetitions" or "a pattern of replication".
A similar solution could be obtained by a sequence of genomic duplications and deletions of tRNA genes.
It consists of a sequence of random gene duplications, deletions, and changes in amino-acid sequences of proteins they encode.
target site duplication A sequence of DNA that is duplicated when a transposable element inserts; usually found at each end the insertion.
Note that the string x does not change during the sequence of duplication events.
As illustrated in Figure 6, we can infer the following sequence of duplication events.
The divergence time estimates shed light on the possible sequence of duplication events.
To understand the evolutionary changes in sequence, structure, and function among these paralogs, it is very important to know the temporal sequence of duplication.
Additional data are needed to assess the orthology, synteny and diversity of these genes in other Anopheles species and to clarify the sequence of duplication events generating the copies of this gene family.
Although it is difficult to determine with certainty when and how these duplications occurred, as well as the sequence of duplication events, it is likely that the most closely related copies (i.e. AgAcp34A-1 or AgAcp34A-3) could represent the direct descendant of an ancestral gene from which the other paralogs would have originated.
Most of the members of the subclasses occur in tandem clusters in the same genomic loci, suggesting that these arose from tandem gene duplications, where a sequence of DNA is transferred to create two adjacent copies (Elemento et al. 2002).
