The phrase "a few facilitating" is not correct and lacks clarity in written English.
It may be intended to describe a small number of facilitating factors or elements, but it needs additional context to be meaningful.
Example: "We identified a few facilitating factors that contributed to the project's success."
Alternatives: "a few enabling" or "a few supportive".
Their nasopharynx can be colonized by pneumococci and other types of bacteria for up to a few months facilitating transfer of genetic material between bacterial strains [ 9, 38].
Compared with a traditional 'genome-browser' representation, canvas interactivity allows users to seamlessly navigate through an entire prokaryotic genome in a few seconds, facilitating discovery and analysis of inconsistencies between annotated genes and newly identified ORFs.
The site works by jumbling a few verbs (facilitate, foster, leverage) and nouns ('word of mouth', buzz, 'branded utilities') into a sentence that sounds impressive but means absolutely nothing.
The characteristics of IBD, i.e., large standoff distance between the spacecraft and the asteroid surface, as well as ion beam divergence angles of a few degrees, facilitate the possible simultaneous use of multiple IBD vehicles to improve the performance and robustness of the asteroid deflection.
Some of the tools are highly resource-specific or cater to specific data types while a few tools facilitate access to data from different resources/databases through a single interface.
These technological advances in deep sequencing (Ion Torrent's PGM, Illumina MiSeq, and Applied BioSystem's SOLiD to name a few) have facilitated a paradigm shift in biological studies from a 'one gene model' to a 'multiple gene model' and have generated many large-scale biology projects (e.g., human genome project [ 71]).
It is irresponsible to destroy these habitats in a few years to facilitate the extraction of a finite and highly polluting energy resource".
For instance, epistatic interactions and the action of a few genes could facilitate invasion success.
When a QTL with a large effect is identified, determining the causal gene is a tedious and time-consuming task [ 39], although the involvement of a few major genes, facilitates the identification and fine mapping of the candidate gene.
