(20) After using the OK method to obtain a distance curve for height, we introduce a new method (VADK) to derive velocity and acceleration curves from the fitted distance curve.
Hunchbacked
Definition:
(a.) Having a humped back.
Example Sentences:
(1) According to genetic analysis, the spatial limits of the Kr expression domain are controlled by the morphogenetic activities of the anterior organizer gene bicoid (bcd) and the anterior gap gene hunchback (hb).
(2) This pattern of expression is altered in mutants for a gap gene (hunchback) and a pair-rule gene (fushi tarazu).
(3) The graded distribution of bcd protein defines position along the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo through the spatially restricted activation of subordinate targets such as the gap gene hunchback (hb).
(4) Ectopic expression of tll under the control of an inducible promoter results in differentiation of ectopic terminal-specific structures, the Filzkörper, and leads to the activation of at least one gene, hunchback, that is required to form these structures.
(5) He was English history's most famous hunchback, but a sharp tailor and a skilful armourer may have disguised the curve in his spine, according to experts who examined the skeleton which has been identified as Richard III's.
(6) Members of this class include hunchback (hb), knirps (kni), and Krüppel (Kr).
(7) Most of the thoracic and abdominal segments of Drosophila are specified early in embryogenesis by the overlapping activities of the hunchback (hb), Krüppel, knirps, and giant gap genes.
(8) Previous genetic studies suggest that one of the stripes, stripe 2, is initiated by the maternal morphogen bicoid (bcd) and the gap protein hunchback (hb), while the borders of the stripe are formed by selective repression, involving the gap protein giant (gt) in anterior regions and the Krüppel (Kr) protein in posterior regions.
(9) Within this hunchback-free domain the pattern of abdominal segments must be specified by other morphogens, possibly by shorter range gradients of the products of zygotic gap genes Kruppel, knirps and tailless.
(10) I picture her small enough to hold in your hand, and she’s with her brothers and sisters; they’re all normal little dogs and then there’s this tiny hunchback.
(11) In Drosophila embryos, graded activity of the posterior determinant nanos (nos) generates abdominal segmentation by blocking protein expression from maternal transcripts of the hunchback (hb) gene.
(12) In contrast, Krüppel is a transcriptional repressor that can block transcription induced either by hunchback or by several different homeo box proteins.
(13) He won an Oscar nomination and a César for Cyrano de Bergerac and is best-known in Britain for his role as the benighted and hunchback tax-collector turned farmer in Jean de Florette .
(14) We conclude that we have identified the hunchback gene because three mutations that inactivate hb physically interrupt or delete this gene.
(15) The first zygotic group of genes, which are thought to respond to the spatial cues provided by the maternal genes, are the gap genes, whose members include hunchback (hb), Krüppel (Kr) and knirps (kni).
