The phrase "a function of gene" is not correct in English.
Did you mean "a function of genes"? You can use it when discussing the role or purpose of genes in biological processes or traits.
Example: "The expression of certain traits in an organism is often a function of genes that regulate those characteristics."
Alternatives: "a role of genes" or "an aspect of genes".
The overall compaction level and intranuclear location varies as a function of gene density for both entire chromosomes [J.A. Croft, J.M. Bridger, S. Boyle, P. Perry, P. Teague,W.A. Bickmore, Differences in the localization and morphology of chromosomes in the human nucleus, J. Cell Biol. 145 (1999) 1119 1131] and specific chromosomal regions [N.L. Mahy, P.E.
Individual and average occurrence probabilities are shown as a function of gene and list vertex degrees.
Effect of expect-value cutoff is a function of gene conservation, conserved domain number and gene length.
Figure 2 shows the Kaplan-Meier analysis as a function of gene profile for homogeneous subsets of patients.
In the GVD model, the deviations are a function of gene vertex degree and in the LVD model the deviations are dependent on list vertex degrees.
A three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) measured genetic distance as a function of gene, year and within- versus between-region designation, testing whether underlying genetic distributions differ regionally.
The same scientist who claims that behavior is a function of genes can't give a genetic explanation of why she chose to become a scientist in the first place.
But then incidence is a function of genes or lifestyles, not of access to treatment.
Fletcher and Conley (2013) argue that G*E interactions are most meaningful when they are based on exogenous environmental measures that are not themselves a function of genes.
The first of these involves the study of phenotypic variations in model organisms such as C. elegans, as a function of gene-knockouts or changes in environmental conditions.
