Example Sentences:

(6) Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD, BMD) have both been clinically recognized for over 100 years, yet throughout much of that time nothing beyond clinical evaluation and supportive care during the disease course was available to patients.
(7) The methods of Bunnell, Kleinert and Kessler, who use the imbedded suture, were compared with the method of Becker, in which an external cross suture is used.
(8) Schuberth and Eimas (1977) reported that semantic priming and frequency have additive effects on RTs in lexical decision tasks, whereas Becker (1979) reported that the same two factors interact.

(10) DNA analysis showed that the second mutation, a deletion, arose in the same gene carrying the primary defect which produced a Becker phenotype in the affected males.
(11) The assay we developed (Ruohola et al., 1988) differs from the mammalian assay (Beckers et al., 1987) in that we introduce radiolabeled marker protein into the ER in vitro during translocation rather than during virus infection.

Definition:
(n.) A European marine fish (Pagrus vulgaris) allied to the American scup; the becker. The name is sometimes applied to the related species.
