Sentence examples for microsatellites are linked from inspiring English sources

Since these microsatellites are linked to genes, they are useful as Type I markers.

In cattle, selection for economically important traits is a long-term strategy and it has been reported that microsatellites are linked to these important loci.

As two of the microsatellites were linked to the MHCI and TAP2A genes, respectively (both related to the immune response, Grimholt et al. 1993, 2002), we investigated signatures of selection using lositan (Antao et al. 2008).

Normally, selection does not act on microsatellites per se, but rather on genes to which they are linked by proximity.

Dealing with microsatellite data, the selective pressure hypothesis assumes that loci that show significant temporal changes in allele frequencies are linked to regions involved in immune response.

Progressively more numbers of microsatellites are being linked to genes associated with adaptive and functional variations, therefore making their utility broader in genetic applications.

Indeed, computer analyses have shown evidence of HGFIN within a region of microsatellites, which is linked to instability (data not shown).

Omy1009UW is a microsatellite locus linked to the circadian clock gene, NPas2, while the microsatellite Ots515NWFSC is linked to quantitative trait loci for spawning time and body weight in rainbow trout (Appendix A, Table A2).

At the opposite core repeat array end, the microsatellite segment is linked directly to the flanking sequence R (figs. 1 b and 2 b).

This was hypothesized to be either due to a recent bottleneck followed by genetic drift, or that the applied polymorphic microsatellite markers were linked to the regions under frequency dependent selection, including the MAT genes.

The results reported herein provided the first evidence that the evolution of A. marginale MSP1a repeat and microsatellite sequences was linked to environmental traits, and that strains are not geographically related.
