Sentence examples for inserted copy from inspiring English sources

These observations are consistent with an immunologic arms race between a primordial herpes virus and an inserted copy of the virus in which the virus would exhibit conservation of "high information content" structural domains with rapid divergence of primary sequence similarity.

Both genes may be functionally essential to maintain Buchnera – making the nuclear inserted copy a strong candidate for being functionally active, with the product targeted to the endosymbiont.

Then, its parent (original copy) and child (inserted copy) regions are identified, assuming the parent segment will keep a longer conserved synteny with the other species than the child (Han et al. 2009).

To determine the inserted copy numbers of the seven genes, genomic DNA was isolated from KR7 for quantitative PCR analysis, which was performed with seven gene-specific primer sets using the UPL system [see Additional file 1].

When the match threshold was relaxed to 80% to find the number of copies that may have been related to the recently inserted copy, 19 elements had more than one related copy (ranging from 2 to 17 copies); from these, 18 were again Copia elements and one (with six copies) was an undetermined LTR element.

Although a majority of Alu elements are considered to be neutral residents of the human genome, an inserted copy of an Alu repeat could interrupt structurally or functionally important genomic regions and consequently affect the expression of a locus [Batzer and Deininger, 2002; Callinan and Batzer, 2006].

These two families exhibited a high degree of insertion polymorphism and newly inserted copies were inherited steadily throughout clonal propagation.

Finally, the distance between these recent TE insertions and genes showed that most of the recently inserted copies of LTR elements were located close to genes (Table 3).

To better investigate the potential activity of the different families and the potential age of the sequences, we calculated Kimura distances of the inserted copies, with the hypothesis that mutations altering TE-inserted copies are neutral (Fig.  4a c).

Using a disabled virus as a vehicle, a team led by Yehoash Raphael of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, inserted copies of the Math1 gene into the fluid in the animals' cochlea to create overexpression of the gene.

The researchers took skin cells from the tails of sickle cell mice and inserted copies of four genes that made the cells take on the characteristics of embryonic stem cells.
