Sentence examples for domesticated elements from inspiring English sources

The four-acre garden was her working laboratory, where she domesticated elements from legendary gardens, like the yellow-flowering laburnum arch at the National Trust's Bodnant Garden, in North Wales, or the ornamental potager, or vegetable garden, at the Chateau de Villandry, in the Loire Valley in France, and made them seem possible for the home gardener.

We have also included in this analysis four putative domesticated elements which are supposed to have lost their ability to transpose.

Such domesticated elements are involved in many cellular and developmental functions including placental development, viral resistance, chromatin structure, DNA recombination and repair, gene regulation, apoptosis and brain development [ 8].

This massive amount of DNA includes domesticated elements with evolutionarily spectacular functions, such as the RAG (recombination activating) genes that form the basis of V(D J recombination in our immune system [ 2, 3], and the ERVWE1 (endogenous retrovirus group W, member 1) gene that plays a role in placental development [ 4].

Although the number of ESTs present in grapevine databases is limited for extended expression pattern studies of each putative domesticated element identified, we think the specific nature of these elements could be confirmed.

Eugene V. Koonin, NCBI, NLM, NIH, United States of America Kordiš reports apparent gain of a large number of introns in "young" vertebrate genes, primarily in genes that evolved from domesticated transposable elements.

The CENP-B protein is likely to be involved in the human centromere assembly (Ohzeki et al. 2002), but its similarity to pogo-like transposases suggests its origin from domesticated mobile elements and a possible role in satDNA sequence rearrangements (Kipling and Warburton 1997; Casola et al. 2008).

Our analyses show that the Nosema Piggybac sequences fall into four well-supported groups, and three out of them are closely related to Piggybac elements from domesticated silkworms.

Selection analyses further suggest that our ability to detect these prokaryote TEs today in eukaryotes is because HT of these sequences occurred recently and/or some IS607 elements were domesticated after HT, giving rise to new eukaryote genes.

More recently, it has been suggested that the pool of transposable elements can be domesticated to serve as a 'warehouse' for natural selection, potentially acting as a source of lineage-specific elements [ 47, 48].

Another possibility is that some of these elements may represent domesticated transposases [ 23- 26], which no longer transpose but perform another cellular function instead.
