The phrase "a number of aberrant" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe multiple instances or examples of something that deviates from the norm or is unusual.
Example: "The study revealed a number of aberrant behaviors among the subjects that warranted further investigation."
Alternatives: "several anomalous" or "various deviant".
A number of aberrant events were also described, including large deletions and chromosome rearrangements.
It seems more reasonable to predict that a number of aberrant genes contribute to the process.
It seems more reasonable to predict that a number of aberrant genes contribute to metastasis.
This strain displays a number of aberrant phenotypic characteristics, such as poor motility, an atypical straight body morphology, and poor colonization in chickens.
The remaining five studies applied microarray or bead-based hybridization method to investigate miRNA expression signatures in prostate cancer compared with normal tissue, and identified a number of aberrant expressed miRNAs in tumor cells.
It should be noted that the number of cells showing a full fission phenotype was low (10 20% of total) and so the effect of PINK1 deficiency on fission may be indirect, perhaps suggesting a general effect on mitochondria that can result in a number of aberrant morphologies.
Taking advantage of the recent discovery of chromosome congression in female meiosis I, we have examined a number of different aberrant chromosome configurations.
Gains: 5(p), 7, 20 q) Losses: 13q, 22, 1p Although a number of highly aberrant cases was included (see outliers in box plot, Figure 1), thyroid carcinomas, including all variants, showed an overall the lowest level of chromosomal imbalances.
Interestingly, a number of these aberrant sites are in coding sections of the genome and their identification may have important implications for studying the neutral rate of mutation at nonsynonymous sites.
With a solid morphostat block, a sizeable number of aberrant cells were created.
It is interesting to note that treatment with the 10-TS isomer, which is a specific inhibitor of SCD (data not shown), produces a different phenotype, with an increased number of aberrant multiflagellated cells displaying reduced motility, and a very low cell-debris accumulation, most probably as consequence of a trypanostatic effect.
