Séquences

Séquences is a French-language film magazine originally published in Montreal, Quebec by the Commission des ciné-clubs du Centre catholique du cinéma de Montréal, a Roman Catholic film society. Founded in 1955, the publication was edited for forty years by Léo Bonneville, a member of the Clerics of Saint Viator and Quebec film scholar.

Usage examples of "sequences".

Because researchers had learned that failure to repair mutations can cause colon cancer, we started to work out the full sequences of the four genes.

Human Genome Project seeks not just to elucidate all the proteins produced within a human but also to comprehend how the genes that encode the proteins are expressed, how the DNA sequences of those genes stack up against comparable genes of other species, how genes vary within our species and how DNA sequences translate into observable characteristics.

Many different amino acid sequences can lead to proteins of similar shapes, so we can infer the structures of various proteins by studying a representative subset of proteins in detail.

Because we know the rules that cells use to turn DNA sequences into the sequences of amino acids that constitute proteins, the ordering of bases tells us the amino acid sequence of the corresponding protein fragment.

That sequence, in turn, can be compared with the sequences in proteins whose structures are known.

This maneuver often tells us something about the function of the complete protein, because proteins containing similar sequences of amino acids often perform similar tasks.

And on they went, gradually crafting the sequences for individual gene segments, complete genes, whole chromosomes and, eventually, the entire genome.

Celera and other genomics companies that have guarded their genome sequences carefully.

Celera and the HGP consortium have sparred over the release of data, chucking early talks of collaboration when the company refused to release its gene sequences immediately and fully into the public domain.

SNPs are detected by comparing DNA sequences derived from different people.

He followed up over the next two and a half years with complete or partial DNA sequences of several more microbes, including agents that cause Lyme disease, stomach ulcers and malaria.

Partial sequences hundreds of bases in length can be pieced together in a computer to produce complete gene sequences.

These partial cDNA sequences act as markers for genes and are sometimes referred to as expressed sequence tags.

We have chosen this length for our partial cDNA sequences because it is short enough to analyze fairly quickly but still long enough to identify a gene unambiguously.

Partial cDNA sequences, likewise, can tell us something about the gene they derive from.
