Lambdoid
Definition:
(a.) Shaped like the Greek letter lambda (/); as, the lambdoid suture between the occipital and parietal bones of the skull.
Example Sentences:
(1) The deformities resulting from premature closure of a coronal, sagittal, metopic, or lambdoid suture can be predicted by the following observations: (1) cranial vault bones that are prematurely fused act as a single bone plate with decreased growth potential; (2) asymmetrical bone deposition occurs mainly at perimeter sutures, with increased bone deposition directed away from the bone plate; (3) sutures adjacent to the stenotic suture compensate in growth more than those sutures not contiguous with the closed suture; and (4) enhanced bone deposition occurs along both sides of a nonperimeter suture that is a continuation of the prematurely closed suture.

(3) This strain was lysogenic for a lambdoid bacteriophage, but this did not encode the toxin.
(4) Some lambdoid phages and lambda mutants that overcome the interference by the lam mutations have been obtained, and were used as tools for characterizing the host mutations.
(5) Two components have been identified within nut: 8-base boxA, conserved among different phages and implicated in the recognition of host NusA protein, required for N function (3); 15-base boxB, an interrupted palindrome (4), diverged in sequence among different lambdoid phages and hypothesized to be the site of recognition for different N proteins, also diverged in sequence (5).
(6) The results obtained support the suggestion that no replication of different lambdoid phages takes place in these mutants.
