Sentence examples for maize we used from inspiring English sources

To test this hypothesis in maize, we used the bioinformatics software Blast2GO to functionally annotate the maize BDT sequences [ 23].

To identify small RNA targets at a global level in maize, we used the recently developed degradome library sequencing technology [ 47, 48].

Mirroring our approach for maize, we used the 5' and 3' ends from this panel of putative rice helitrons to build profile HMMs and used the models to scan two separate sources: genomic sequences of indica and japonica rice.

To identify the R2R3 MYBs in the annotated genomes of poplar, rice, and maize, we used a Hidden Markov Model built from the Arabidopsis R2R3 MYB proteins of Arabidopsis.

To validate the newly predicted MIR169s in maize, we used the SOLiD platform to sequence small RNAs derived from endosperm tissue from B73 and Mo17 inbred lines as well as endosperm tissue derived from their reciprocal crosses.

For maize, we used whole anther analysis and comparison to an independent dataset of laser microdissected PMCs and tapetal cells in carefully staged 1.5 mm fertile anthers at prophase I, and we also used the comparison of am1-489 and am1-praI to dIscover meiosis-associatodiscover

As a first step toward mapping our Illumina data to maize TEs, we used an updated version of the maize TE database (Schnable et al. 2009) to build a UTE containing only the unique portion(s) of each TE element relative all other elements of the database (see Materials and Methods).

In order to check if, under our conditions, CPT is able to induce DNA repair responses in maize embryos, we used a maize gene ZmRNR2 probe encoding the ribonucleotide reductase, in northern blot hybridization.

To compare the ID1 expression pattern with other maize IDD genes we used Northern hybridization and gene-specific probes to the 4 IDD genes isolated from maize cDNA libraries: ZmIDDp1, ZmIDDp10, ZmIDDveg7 and ZmIDDveg9, as well as 3 other ZmIDD genes, ZmIDD3, ZmIDD7, ZmIDD13, with probes isolated by PCR.

We used maize protein-coding genes for analysis; however, due to the highly complex and unfinished annotation of the maize genome, genes in plantsUPS should not be considered as an integrated UPS profile of maize.

During the maize flowering period, we used in situ microscopy at a spatial resolution adequate to monitor the feeding behaviour of butterfly larvae.
