The phrase "a decrease in copy" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing reductions in written material, such as advertising, content creation, or documentation.
Example: "The recent analysis showed a decrease in copy length, which may affect the overall message clarity."
Alternatives: "a reduction in text" or "a decline in written content".
However, from molecular studies it was not clear whether non-Mendelian rDNA inheritance was caused by a decrease in copy number (elimination) or unit replacement (e.g. via homogenisation mechanisms).
This indicates that loss of one allele in PCa correlates to a decrease in copy number.
However, a decrease in copy number was observed for CEP3 and more importantly, a noteworthy decrease observed for 3p14.
For the 170 down-regulated genes only 41 SNPs were found to have a decrease in copy number.
Most notably, the JEL427-P39 ishowed showed a decrease in copy number for 9 of 17 supercontigs compared with the JEL427-P9 isolate.
A gene in PS2 that showed both a decrease in copy number and expression relative to the reference is likewise termed dosage sensitive.
According to the SCC clinical-genomic profile, an increase in the copy number of ZNF292 and DICER1, and a decrease in the copy number of TRA2B,GPD1L, and CTNND1 is an indicator of poor prognosis.
In contrast, a true threshold response was observed for the late gene DIT1: a decrease in IME1 copy number resulted in its delayed transcription, whereas an increase in IME1 copy number resulted in its advanced transcription (Figure 3B).
According to the ADC clinical-genomic profile, patients with a higher risk of death showed an increase in the copy number of YES1, TYMS, MYO1E, SLC25A20 and PSMA4, and a decrease in the copy number of HMGN1 and POFUT2.
Amplification of total mtDNA by quantitative real time PCR showed a decrease in mtDNA copy number at the 4-cell stage.
Regarding the expression of selected genes coding for complex IV subunits, the mitochondrial-encoded gene COII was down-regulated at T24, together with a decrease in mtDNA copy number (Figure 6B).
