Sentence examples for by looking for sequences from inspiring English sources

Therefore, DLX genes can be easily identified in non-annotated genomes by looking for sequences showing homology with the canonical DLX homeodomain sequence, and then by filtering for those showing these motifs.

We then tested whether N. vespilloides has DNA methylation by looking for sequences coding for the enzymes responsible, DNA methyltransferases, and by using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing with the hypothesis that like T. castaneum (Zemach et al. 2010), N. vespilloides would lack DNA methylation.

Connections between these contigs and adjacent contigs with similarly high coverage were identified by looking for sequencing reads that were split between contigs by the assembly software.

Moving on from the marginal nucleotide profiles, we investigate the joint distribution of nucleotides at the cleavage site by looking for short sequence motifs with differential enrichment between cell-free and cellular DNA.

In this study, the p53 status in a Welsh population of oesophageal adenocarcinomas was characterised at both the gene and protein levels by looking for gene sequence mutations, allelic deletions, gene expression alterations and accumulation of the p53 protein.

The researchers compared the dogs' DNA, looking for sequences that differed by a single base, known as single-nucleotide polymorphisms.

The efficacy of these methods was validated using three different procedures: by looking at mtDNA; by looking for Y chromosome sequences; and by using statistical analyses of autosomes.

Gotea and Makalowski conducted a similar, if further reaching, study by looking for TE-derived sequences in the coding regions of human proteins taken from the Protein Data Bank [ 14] (3,764) and from the SwissProt [ 15] collection of directly sequenced human peptides (1,765) [ 16].

The ORF regions of the assembled ESTs were identified by using the ORF predictor software [ 67] and secretory proteins were identified by looking for signal peptide sequence using SignalP software [ 43].
