Sentence examples for may encode genes from inspiring English sources

The CBE cluster of strain AYE may encode genes for choline degradation to produce betaine.

However, based on sequence comparisons, at least a part of these ORFs may encode genes involved in iron transport because a putative Fe3+-ABC transporter periplasmic-binding protein, a putative Fe2+/Zn2+ uptake regulation protein, a putative Fe2+ transport protein and an ATP-binding component of an iron transport protein were identified.

The Y chromosome may encode genes that normally have an XY-specific effect.

This finding suggests that pericentric heterochromatin may encode genes involved in the establishment or maintenance of alternative chromatin states.

As discussed earlier the link between human pathogenicity and the presence of pPAU1 like plasmids suggests that they may encode genes relevant to human infection.

In addition, Ti and Ri plasmids, as well as the Ao (Agrobacterium opine catabolic) and accessory plasmids of pathogenic and nonpathogenic isolates of Agrobacterium spp., may encode genes for ancillary traits including uptake and catabolism of opines, unique organic conjugates that are produced by crown gall tumors and hairy roots (reviewed in Dessaux et al. 1998).

Genomic islands known to contribute to bacterial fitness by conferring new properties increase the adaptability of the organism and may also encode genes involved in pathogenicity [52].

Because these GIs are largely missing in other pathogenic L. interrogans spp., they may not encode genes essential for pathogenesis but might contribute, to certain extent, the severe pathogenic properties of serovar Lai infection [ 7].

These data support our hypothesis that the S. commersonii-specific genes may encode critical genes that function to confer pathogen resistance to F118.

In humans, it is estimated that ∼98% of the genome can be transcribed, of which only ∼2% encodes protein genes (Szymanski et al., 2003), suggesting the possibility that a large percentage of the genome may encode ncRNA genes.

No pseudogenes among transposases and recombinases were detected suggesting that these elements may encode functional genes.
