The phrase "a highly specific set" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when describing a collection of items, criteria, or conditions that are very detailed and precise.
Example: "The research focused on a highly specific set of variables that influenced the outcome of the experiment."
Alternatives: "a very particular group" or "a narrowly defined collection".
Since this time-period not only included two additional disturbance events, but also multiple generations for all protozoa and rotifer species (at least >20), we conclude that the results are robust and meaningful on ecological time-scales, and do not only reflect a highly specific set-up of microcosm experiments [61], [62].
A small but highly specific set of genes is induced very early in response to a moderate decrease in oxygen concentrations.
A small but highly specific set of oxygen-responsive genes is induced very early in response to a moderate decrease in oxygen concentrations.
Our analysis highlights changes in the expression pattern of genes and depicts a small but highly specific set of drought responsive genes induced in response to drought stress.
The former has developed and validated a simplified and highly specific set of diagnostic criteria that distinguishes PsA from non-PsA with a sensitivity and specificity of 0.914 and 0.987, respectively [ 46].
These data reveal that a small but highly specific set of genes is up-regulated very early in response to a moderate decrease in oxygen concentrations from 21%to8% 8 % (v/v) oxygen.
The full-scale application of 16S rRNA-based taxonomic microarray relies on a highly specific probe set (He et al. 2004).
As an illustration of a highly specific query set, we used the octapeptide cleavage sequences of serine, metallo, cysteine and aspartic proteases and identified matches from the entire human proteome (Table S3).
Our results demonstrate that a highly specific enzyme set is unlikely to evolve before the invention of chromosomes.
