Sentence examples for average conversion tract from inspiring English sources

The two isogenic stocks we used as parental lines, Canton-S and w, differ by 93,538 SNPs and InDel polymorphisms on the 22.4-Mb X chromosome, allowing us a to detect virtually all CO events and, on the basis of statistical predictions of the SNP distribution, approximately 40% of all GC events assuming an average conversion tract length of 476 bp.

We show that modeling overlapping gene conversions is crucial for improving the joint estimation of the gene conversion rate and the mean conversion tract length.

We believe that this aspect of our model is crucial in making the joint estimation of the gene conversion rate and the mean conversion tract length feasible.

Of 41 HR repair events analyzed, the average gene conversion tract was 471.4 bp (±73.8).

We found that the average gene conversion tract lengths in Drosophila were long (471.4 ± 73.8 bp) and were longer than gene conversion tracts in budding yeast (∼280 bp) (Cho et al. 1998) and in mouse embryonic stem cells (∼100 bp) (LaRocque and Jasin 2010).

Mean gene conversion tract lengths were estimated to be 476 base pairs, yielding a per nucleotide conversion rate of 0.86 × 10−5 per meiosis.

Under such a model the width of the divergent region should extend less than the average length of a gene conversion tract from the selected site or sites.

We estimate the length of the gene conversion tract by averaging the maximal length of the tract (the distance between markers that are not within the gene conversion tract: 8.8 kb) and the minimal length of the tract (the distance between the converted markers: 3.5 kb).

It is therefore reasonable that a partial gene conversion tract, which on average cover around 50 100 bp [ 2, 18], would result in ancestral nucleotides being introduced at all four sites.

We have now included a comparison of the average number of co-converted markers per conversion tract.

However, even with adjusting for length of homology (average minimal tract length / total length of homology), gene conversion tract lengths in Drosophila are comparable to yeast (23.9% ± 3.7% and ∼23.25%, respectively), but longer than mammals (∼13.7%).
