Sentence examples for feliform from inspiring English sources
noun
Any carnivore of the suborder Feliformia, which are regarded as cat-like.
The ancestral codon sequence at this location may have been a 'CGA' arginine codon, as is found in another hyaenid species, the aardwolf, as well as in several other feliform species (Fig. 2), which includes a CpG dinucleotide consensus sequence ('CG'CG
While it is possible that both these mutations may have arisen as a single event within a common feliform ancestral species, it is more likely that M10 arose independently and more recently than M1 as a homoplastic mutational event within a hyper-mutable site ('DNA hotspot') in the UGT1A6 coding region.
Our results indicate that complete loss of UGT1A6 mediated glucuronosyltransferase activity occurred via pseudogene fixation following divergence of the Felidae from all other feliform families approximately 37 MYA, and prior to the initial divergence of the extant felid lineages 11 MYA.
CanSINE locus 174511 is present in all feliform taxa with one exception.
Sixty regions containing feliform CanSINEs found in the F. catus whole genome sequence with homologous flanking sequence in C. familiaris were selected for amplification in all extant felids and five feliform outgroup taxa.
Until now, even the most current SINE resource (SINEbase, http://sines.eimb.ru) includes only one feliform specific voucher [ 1].
However, other extreme instances of morphological convergence are well documented among feliform carnivores in particular (see [ 19, 72]).
Sequenced DNA fragments consisted of genomic sequence from the host species flanked at either end by the tRNA-related region of a feliform specific CanSINE insertion.
Historic and ongoing patterns of CanSINE proliferation can be inferred by both position with the feliform phylogeny and the extent of sequence divergence among loci.
By employing comparative genomics methods to identify SINE loci in domestic and exotic feliforms, two feliform-specific CanSINE subfamilies were defined based on sequence structure and taxonomic distribution.
Sequence analyses separated Feliform CanSINEs into two subfamilies, each characterized by distinct RNA polymerase binding motifs and phylogenetic associations.
