  • (20) We should also plan a fast cross-Pennine line, to join the northern city centres, and high-speed lines from Cardiff and Bristol merging, and then splitting again towards Birmingham and west London.

Splice


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To unite, as two ropes, or parts of a rope, by a particular manner of interweaving the strands, -- the union being between two ends, or between an end and the body of a rope.
  • (v. t.) To unite, as spars, timbers, rails, etc., by lapping the two ends together, or by applying a piece which laps upon the two ends, and then binding, or in any way making fast.
  • (v. t.) To unite in marrige.
  • (n.) A junction or joining made by splicing.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) It is argued that this process drove the evolution of present 5' and 3' splice sites from a subset of proto-splice sites and also drove the evolution of a more efficient splicing machinery.

  • (5) Previously, we identified a candidate gene, Tcp-10b, whose t allele generates alternatively spliced transcripts.
  • (6) Analysis of this mutant illustrates that indirect flight muscles and jump muscles utilize different mechanisms for alternative RNA splicing.
  • (7) A comparison between the primary structures of the rat and human genes reveals that the heterogeneity of the C-terminal peptides can be explained in large part by a frameshift mutation and the utilization of an alternative splice donor site in the third exon of the rat gene.
