Usage Examples
Converse of object
- detect: I am currently working on a project to detect sporadic recombination in multiple DNA sequence alignments.
- undergo: This immigrant then undergoes recombination with the local elite; the fittest individual created so far within this cell.
- involve: Vegetative reproduction - a reproductive process that is asexual and so does not involve a recombination of genetic material.
- follow: Uniform crossover is a two-stage process of gene recombination followed by gene shuffling.
Adjective modifier
- homologous: The first area focuses on the mechanism of homologous recombination in plants.
- mitotic: One way DNA damage can arise is during a process called ' mitotic recombination ' , which occurs when cells divide.
- meiotic: Using meiotic recombination in yeast to map gene locations.
- site-specific: We have already pointed out the hazards of site-specific recombination earlier.
- illegitimate: Molecular analysis of DNA junctions produced by illegitimate recombination in human cells.
- radiative: This effect has been tentatively attributed to impact ionization followed by hot carrier interband radiative recombination.
Modifies a noun
- hotspot: This map has revealed key genomic predictors, including specific motifs, for recombination hotspots.
