Example Sentences:
(1) We describe genetic interactions among png, plu, and the previously identified gene gnu that demonstrate these three genes regulate the same process.
(2) gnu uncouples nuclear division from many cytoplasmic events of mitosis in the Drosophila embryo.
(3) Partial conjugation of homologous chromatids, which is an evidence for cryptic polyteny in the gnu embryos nuclei, was shown.
(4) Drosophila melanogaster embryos, whose mothers are homozygous for the gnu (a recessive lethal mutation with maternal effect) undergo DNA synthesis but are defective in nuclear division.
(5) Embryos from females homozygous for the mutation gnu undergo rounds of DNA synthesis without nuclear division to produce giant nuclei, and at the same time show many cycles of centrosome replication (Freeman et al.
(6) Among the bovid ribonucleases (cow, bison, eland, sheep, goat and gnu), topi ribonuclease shows the closest resemblance with sheep and goat ribonucleases; except that the glutamic acid residue at position 103 in the ribonucleases from sheep and goat is substituted by a lysine residue in topi.
(7) We describe a recessive, maternal-effect lethal mutation of Drosophila, gnu.
(8) Placental lactogenic activity has been detected in primates (chimpanzee, orangutan), rodents (voles, Pinon mouse, guinea-pig, mara), and in numerous artiodactyls (llama, giraffe, several species of deer, antelope, gnu, gazelle, musk ox, cape buffalo, Barbary sheep, several sheep of the genus Ovis, goat, and cow).
