The phrase "a minor difference was that" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to introduce a small distinction or variation between two or more items, ideas, or situations.
Example: "In comparing the two studies, a minor difference was that one used a larger sample size than the other."
Alternatives: "a slight difference was that" or "a small distinction was that".
A minor difference is that the absolute reward signal does not "disappear" at any point in the trial for monkey T. It is interesting that absolute reward value exerts a substantial effect on LIP activity even though it exerts little if any effect on choice (Fig. 2).
A minor difference is that the two major absorption bands of strain KT71T in the near-infrared region were located at 802 and 876 nm and thus are blue-shifted in respect to R. rubrum DSM 467T (peaks located at 804 and 882 nm).
A minor difference is that in this study unsaturated instead of saturated sinapinic acid (SPA Bio-Radd Laboratories) was used, prepared according to manufacturer's instruction.
The only minor difference is that the PEG code slightly outperformed the M-SC-MPC code for the case of classical LDPC decoding, while the opposite occurs when Eve uses the ideal decoder.
Another minor difference is that the BigFoot model does not allow for insertions at the exact boundaries of functional regions.
Some minor differences are that when the square chosen first contains a complex molecule, then a secondary square is chosen from the seven squares adjacent to the first square, excluding the square that contains the other molecule of the complex (i.e. the molecule which the molecule chosen first is making a complex with, which is always located in the neighborhood of the molecule chosen first).
But the thing about the narcissism of minor differences is that, just like Silicon Valley social hierarchy, once you're aware of it, it's impossible to ignore.
The only minor observable difference was that a loosely positioned nucleosome reported at −130 to −350 bp position could not be interpreted clearly at the stringency level of ≥−1.0 enrichment values in our data.
And his attackers demand to know, "Are you a Catholic Muslim or a Protestant Muslim?" The narcissism of minor differences was never more starkly illustrated than after that rainy night when I boarded the ferry from Scotland and made the short voyage into the 17th century, setting off to look at the rest of Northern Ireland.
Though a few minor differences were found between the original Ames strain and that used in the letter, it was not clear how helpful that discovery was in identifying the source stock.
