Sentence examples for elements are functional from inspiring English sources

Perhaps the most important question is how many of the HNF4α-Alu elements are functional.

Mapping transcripts originating from this promoter would determine whether or not both TATA elements are functional.

For example, the fact a handful of Alu elements have become functional cannot be taken as support for the hypothesis that all Alu elements are functional.

As shown in Fig. 2D, the transcriptional increase obtained using the wild-type pGL2B-hPRL−216/+1 construct was significantly reduced when the mutated PRL promoter constructs were cotransfected with the pRSV-hPit-1 vector, demonstrating that these elements are functional.

This finding does not exclude that possibility that cis-acting elements are functional in restraining degradation since elements may be in other parts of the transcript or are in a form that the MEME algorithm could not detect.

These findings suggest STAR elements are functional and may be under strong purifying selection.

In our study, gel mobility shifting assays with nuclear extracts from ARPE-19 or FHL124 cells reveal that both ETS-1 and CREB can strongly bind to the cognate cis-elements, indicating that these cis-elements are functional.
