The phrase "a partial duplication of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to something that is not a complete copy but shares some similarities or elements with another item.
Example: "The report presented a partial duplication of the previous findings, highlighting only the most relevant data."
Alternatives: "a partial copy of" or "a fragment of".
The recovery of water is a partial duplication of natural atmospheric convection processes because of the unstable environment lapse rate.
Other devices entail a partial duplication of effort or a division of tasks between two individuals to reduce the opportunity for unobserved thefts.
The C. chloropyga genes were in the same order and orientation as the mitochondrial genome of other dipteran species, except for the occurrence of a 123 bp region that included a complete duplication of tRNAIle and a partial duplication of tRNAGln genes.
Increased copy number for the POLgamma locus in a human cell line bearing a partial duplication of chromosome 15 increased the abundance of POLgammaCAT mRNA without up-regulation of mtDNA.
In addition, there is a 33,911 bp duplication (designated DR1 and DR2) and a partial duplication of the first 5,359 bp of DR1 (designated DR3).
Within the most studied genus Magnetospirillum, genetic differences have been noted such as a partial duplication of the mamAB operon in M. magneticum AMB-1 and M. magnetotacticum MS-1 that is not found in M. gryphiswaldense MSR-1.

Further evidence for instability is suggested by a variable partial duplication of clpP among populations of C. americanum.
We do not argue that absolutely every rearrangement was generated in one event indeed, a later partial duplication of the derivative chromosome is likely to explain why some samples (such as C32, Figure S2C) oscillate across three copy number states rather than two.
To further confirm an identified partial duplication of PMP22, the commercially available Multiplex Ligation-dependant Probe Amplification kit P033-CMT11) was used.
