Overabundance
Definition:
Example Sentences:

(4) Analysis of a 1989-base-long gene sequence for mouse immunoglobulin gamma 2a heavy-chain constant region as well as the 19,002-base-long gene sequence for human serum albumin revealed deficiency and overabundance of very similar sets of base trimers and tetramers in the coding and noncoding regions of the same gene, in spite of the fact that noncoding regions were considerably richer in A + T. Inasmuch as this universal rule does not discriminate one strand of DNA double helix from another, two complementary DNA strands of the entire gene maintained nearly perfect symmetry.
