Sentence examples for marker for strain from inspiring English sources

Notably, the A. marginale surface protein 1a (MSP1a) is a model molecule for these studies because it serves as a marker for strain identity, is both an adhesin necessary for infection of cells and an immuno-reactive protein and is also an indicator of the evolution of strain diversity.

IS6110 is a powerful genetic marker for strain differentiation [ 12].

Our findings confirm observations that hemolysis is not a reliable marker for strain discrimination.

IS 6110, a powerful genetic marker for strain differentiation [ 17] has also been shown to play an important role in mediating genomic rearrangements and deletions in mycobacteria.

IS elements have been extensively used as a marker for strain identification in M. tuberculosis due to high numerical and positional polymorphisms (for a review see [ 41- 44]).

In considering the functional utility of the maxicircle as a molecular marker for strain identification and classification, the coding regions present variation that is likely conserved among DTUs or subgroups of strains, while the variable regions may allow differentiation among closely related isolates.

Moreover, we found that the ptxP allele is a good marker for strains that have similar gene content, since also the ptxP2 and ptxP6 strains are associated with the absence or presence of specific gene clusters.

These mutations associated with mutator genes provide a reliable tool for the identification of W-Beijing isolates and thus a useful marker for strains endowed with capacity to yield epidemics.
