Learned by Reading

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

This transcript is eliminated in at least one sdc – 2 mutant strain and reduced in size in another.
(Parse)

In the British National Corpus:

The presence of a new 1350 n. transcript, identified in the mutant strain by probes in borderline deletion areas, indicated transcription of the deleted genomes.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

They produced mutations by exposing the fungus to X – rays, and then identified strains that had metabolic defects by varying the growth medium; if the synthesis of a particular nutrient (such as an amino acid or vitamin) was disrupted by mutation, that mutant strain could be grown by adding the necessary nutrient to the medium.

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

CB4856 is crossed into a mutant strain, and exclusion of CB4856 alleles of a subset of snip – SNPs in mutant progeny is assessed with BSA.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Interestingly, other genes involved in the pathogenicity of V. parahaemolyticus, such as VP1680, vopC, and vopT, were also up – regulated in the mutant strain.

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Thechisa theorizes that ITPD is a mutant strain of the otherkin fixation, and on some subconscious level its rabid afflicted believe themselves to be actual mythical trolls.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

In the case of the 1990s a mutant strain of virus was decimating the commercial corn fields of the United States.

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Now, as if infected by some mutant strain of elephantitis, the emergency plan could swell to well over $ 2 TRILLION.

In the British National Corpus:

Mitochondrial genome expression in a mutant strain of D.subobscura, an animal model for large scale mtDNA deletion
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

The mutant strain also had a lower hatching rate than the wild – type after gamma – irradiation of embryos, but not after the irradiation of pachytene stage germ cells.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

The triple mutant strain (flp – 4; flp – 8; flp – 20; Kim & Li, 2004) showed no 12 – hour memory following massed training suggesting that this memory phase relies on FMRF – amide neuropeptide transmission.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

We are discovering what we have been doing all this time…. the team measured the activity of invertase within a normal strain of rice, in which the GIF1 gene lacked any mutations, and within a mutant strain of rice, in which the GIF1 gene contained a mutation that caused a defect in the invertase activity.
(Parse)

In the British National Corpus:

A mitochondrial mutant strain of D.subobscura has two mitochondrial genome populations (heteroplasmy): the first (20-30% of the population, 15.9 kb) is the same as could be found in the wild type; the second (70-80% of the population, 11 kb) has lost by deletion several genes coding for complex I and III subunits, and four tRNAs.

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

CB4856 is crossed into a mutant strain, and exclusion of CB4856 alleles of a subset of snip – SNPs in mutant progeny is assessed with BSA.

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

This unusually efficient mutant strain was developed through repeated rounds of chemical mutagenesis, strain selection, transformation, and genetic manipulation over a period of seven years.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

The ruined city teemed with life, albeit a mutant strain, or rather a mutinous one that rebelled against ideal standards of behaviour and deportment.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

This finding, coupled with the long – term memory deficits observed in the glr – 1 mutant strain, lead to the conclusion that activation of the glutamate receptor subtype AMPA is required for the formation of long – term retention.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Hypergastrinemic INS – GAS mice infected with wild – type H. pylori demonstrated significantly increased DAF expression in gastric epithelium versus uninfected controls or mice infected with an H. pylori cagE – isogenic mutant strain.
