Sentence examples for microsatellites rather than from inspiring English sources

Because the marker data we have for mouse are microsatellites rather than SNPs, we use these microsatellite markers as a surrogate of SNPs for the purpose to demonstrate the utility of the model.

This suggests that most tri-SSR compound microsatellites originate by two independent 'births' of secondary microsatellites, rather than a nesting of microsatellites.

Vigouroux et al. (2002) used similar reductions in diversity, but of microsatellites rather than nucleotides, to screen 501 maize genes for evidence of selection during domestication.

More generally, attention should be given to comparing genetic variation across studies using different motif lengths, as conclusions may vary due in part to the characteristics of the microsatellites rather than only the natural variation present.

Heifetz et al. [ 11] also showed highly correlated LD across generations at short distances and weaker correlations at long distances, although that study utilized microsatellites rather than SNPs, and much more widely spaced markers.

The degree of polymorphism shown by microsatellites rather than their abundance in the genome contributes to their usefulness in genome analysis For fingerprinting plant genomes, Epplen [ 51] has shown that oligonucleotides based on -GATA- or -GACA-microsatellite motifs amongstngsthehe most frequently used for fingerprinting plant genomes.

However, ex vivo functional analysis suggests that the overall length of the microsatellite rather than its sequence, determines transcriptional regulation and hence SNCA gene expression [24].

Previous work in actively dividing cells suggested that mismatch repair is associated with preventing microsatellite, rather than minisatellite, alterations (Sia et al. 1997).

Variations in the disease haplotype occurred in three dogs, each at 1 locus only and likely represent new mutations in the microsatellite rather than recombinants.

The mismatch repair system has usually been associated with instability in microsatellite tracts, rather than minisatellite tracts (Johnson et al. 1996; Strand et al. 1993, 1995).

Contrary to expectations, Wolbachia prevalence was correlated to host groups defined by nuclear microsatellite data rather than mtDNA, suggesting that its spread may depend largely on host gene flow and dispersal, and not a selective sweep [ 26].
