The phrase "a majority of tested" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the results or findings from a group of subjects or items that have been evaluated or assessed.
Example: "A majority of tested participants reported an improvement in their symptoms after the treatment."
Alternatives: "most of those tested" or "the majority of those evaluated".
This confirms the usefulness of our data sets as a resource for evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo), since expression of genes present in our transcriptome data is also detectable by in situ hybridization for a majority of tested cases.
Wang et al. [ 62] showed that a minority of P. sojae RxLR effectors (including PcRXLR13 and PcRXLR27 homologues, Avh147 and Avh238, respectively) triggered cell death in the host, soybean, or in N. benthamiana, and that a majority of tested P. sojae effectors could suppress the cell death triggered by those effectors.
If a data set is known to have particular characteristics such as high levels of noise, etc., then the recommended method will shift to one that is known to function well under that regime, although we note that some methods such as c3PB function well under a majority of tested scenarios.
A recent survey of biofilm formation in haloarchaea (i.e., members of the class Halobacteria) conducted by Fröls and coworkers showed that a majority of tested strains were able to adhere to glass and form biofilms [ 38].
We found significant correlations between a majority of tests (mean Rho = -0.539) and the total number of failed tests for each patient, indicating that no test had unique predictive value.
A majority of testing labs was fairly or very confident (70.6%) in the ability of physicians to determine whether MOT was required; but only a minority (5.9%) was fairly or very confident in referring labs to make this determination.
A majority of testing labs was also fairly or very confident of their ability to decide which MOT was required (82.4%); again, referring labs and physicians had less confidence regarding their own abilities (59%and34.4%4% respectively were fairly or very confident).
As compared to normative data, and using 1 SD below normative mean as a sign of impairment, patients with DM1 scored worse on a majority of tests (in the normative collectives 16%% of subjects are expected to perform 1 SD below mean).
Using the KH test, FLU proved significantly better than other models for a majority of alignments tested.
Single-stranded PCR products that had been labeled by the incorporation of a Cy3-labeled forward primer in the PCR were found to give the next highest signals upon hybridization for a majority of the tested probes, with less non-specific hybridizations.
Exposure is not the question with these chemicals — all have been found in treated wastewater, and BPA and triclosan have been found in the blood of a majority of people tested.
