Sentence examples for fusion or splitting from inspiring English sources

For example, the fact that humans have one fewer pair of chromosomes than the great apes offered a testable hypothesis involving the fusion or splitting of chromosomes from a common ancestor.

In 4 out of 16 pairs we found an artifactual fusion or splitting of neighbour genes and in 12 out of 16 pairs the difference was due to an erroneous gain or loss of exons in one of the two species.

The stringency of Inparanoid is such that, in case of poor gene annotation (as currently occurs in genome projects with gene truncation, false splicing pattern, gene fusion or splitting), some orthology relationships are missed, leading to an excess of false negatives when given proteins are searched for through orthology in another species.

Among the 55 TUs composing the 38 transcriptons found in both BAp and E. coli, 16 are monocistronic, 13 are identical or similar TUs (totally or partially conserved from gene deletions) and 26 are TUs that were reorganised during genome evolution, i.e., formed from a fusion or split from different ancestral TUs (see Methods section for definition of the different TU rearrangements).

Similar cases can be observed between the comparison of catfish and medaka, catfish and Tetraodon, catfish and stickleback, indicated that chromosomal fusions or splits occurred frequently during the teleost evolution.

This is accompanied by a lack of chromosome end fusion (and splitting) events (Baudrimont et al. 2010; Labrador et al. 2013; Wynne et al. 2012).

This idea is supported by the conjugational process observed in H. volcanii in which cycles of partial cell fusion and splitting allow reciprocal mobilization of plasmids and chromosomes, leading to ploidy variation [ 51, 52].

Cells containing at least one green and orange signal pair split apart by ≥2 signal diameters (pair-signal type fusion), or a single orange signal without corresponding green signal (single-signal type fusion), were considered to contain ALK gene rearrangement (positive).

Fusion reactions between light elements, like fission reactions that split heavy elements, release energy because of a key feature of nuclear matter called the binding energy, which can be released through fusion or fission.

Nor was it fusion, or neo, or anything else.

New-style fusion or old-style fusion?
