The phrase "a modest depth of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a level of depth that is not excessive, often in contexts related to knowledge, understanding, or physical measurements.
Example: "The report provided a modest depth of analysis, allowing readers to grasp the key concepts without overwhelming them with details."
Alternatives: "a slight depth of" or "a limited depth of".
At a modest depth of sequencing, viral transcripts can be detected at frequencies less than 1 in 1,000,000.
We observed that all high confidence CDR3βs identified by RNA-seq (n = 9) fell within the top 2.1 % (n = 60) of CDR3βs detected by TCR-seq, ranked by abundance (data not shown), confirming that at a modest depth of sequencing, RNA-seq can identify the most abundant CDR3-encoding transcripts.
Thus, since budget is often a concern, it is recommended to increase the number of samples, which correspond to biological replicates, sequenced at a modest depth, rather than to increase sequencing depth in fewer samples.
Trump seems to believe that foreign affairs require only modest depths of thought.
Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Trump seems to believe that foreign affairs require only modest depths of thought.
Since modest depths of shielding stop the vast majority of Solar Energetic Particles (SEP), the greater challenge is posed by the need to shield the crew from the Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR), which include highly-charged and highly-energetic particles.
For example, the ENCODE RNA-seq standards [ 20] suggest that transcriptome profiling of polyadenylated positive samples require modest depths of sequencing, such as 30 million PE reads of length >30 bp, while for novel transcript discovery and strong quantification of known transcript isoforms deeper sequencing is required.
Metagenomics alone, at a modest sequencing depth, cannot provide a highly resolved view of the community structure because of its bias toward sequences of the most abundant taxa.
This paper determines how well one can make population genetic inferences with shallow read depth using a modest number of individual genomes from the same species.
It was found that the cellular design was effective in significantly reducing the radial damage for an incoming projectile by up to 26%, with a modest increase in penetration depth of up to 12%.
A modest bottle of wine costs $34.
