The phrase "a raw total of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when presenting an unprocessed or unrefined sum or amount, often in contexts involving data or statistics.
Example: "The report indicated a raw total of 500 units sold last quarter, before any adjustments for returns."
Alternatives: "an overall total of" or "a gross total of".
(Mulford uses a composite rather than a raw total to adjust for the effect of companies entering and leaving the list).
The genome assembly was performed by ALLPATHS-LG assembler [ 16] with a raw total coverage of 200X for overlap (180 bp) and jumping (600 bp, 2000-3000 bp) libraries.
These yielded a raw data total of 28 Gb in 295 million reads [European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) Short Read Archive, accession number ERA032353; http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/].
The ratio between pulse pressure and SV (PP/SV) was used as a raw indicator of total arterial stiffness.
Meta-analysis with pooled risk differences for all trials would produce an NNT of 17 for gum (compared to the reported NNT of 12 from the raw totals) and an NNT of 18 for patches (compared to the reported NNT of 17 from raw totals).
Based on 125.2 Mb of raw sequence, a total of 54,216 unique sequences were obtained including 24,144 tentative consensus (TCs) sequences and 30,072 singletons, ranging from 100 bp to 6,662 bp in length, with an average length of 541 bp.
The total sequencing represents a raw coverage of 327X, using an estimated genome size of 480 Mb for a highly heterozygous grape genome [ 12].
After raw reads adapter removal, a total of 56.4 million unique raw reads were mapped to our collected EST database resulting of 5.4 million unique mapped sequences.
We then sequenced them using an Illumina (Solexa) DNA sequencer, which yielded ∼12 million raw reads containing a total of ∼2 million non-redundant tags with high-quality reads (1,001,353 and 1,009,575 sequence tags generated from AW and SC, respectively).
In this study, we obtained ∼12 million raw reads containing a total of ∼2 million non-redundant tags with high-quality reads.
