The phrase "a robust starting point" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a strong or solid foundation for a discussion, project, or analysis.
Example: "This research provides a robust starting point for further investigation into climate change impacts."
Alternatives: "a solid foundation" or "a strong basis".
The engineering guidelines determined here, which enable the simple insertion of a monomeric ZnPc binding site into an artificial helical bundle, are a robust starting point for the creation of functional photoactive nanodevices.
Because of this finding, the alignment provides a robust starting point for homology modeling of the permeation paths of other K+-selective channel classes and elucidation of sequence-function relationships therein.
It will serve as a robust starting point for future investigations of this specious genus, both in terms of phylogenetic and evolutionary research.
Genetic cross experiments are also a robust starting point; for example, the complex polymorphisms in the cg1 and cg2 genes seen at the chloroquine resistance locus identified by the cross of HB3 and DD2 [ 37] would be defined as being of low priority for further study by the approach we describe.
A decomposed approach is suggested to provide a reliable and robust starting point for solving the MINLP problem.
Collectively, these results provide much needed robust starting points for the future biological characterization of cis-regulatory elements in P. falciparum and demonstrate in general that in silico approaches to understanding transcriptional regulation mechanisms can be successfully used to predict regulatory elements in non-model organisms possessing unusual genome characteristics.
Thus, sample-level differentiated genes represent a robust input starting point for subsequent SLEPR enrichment analysis using Fisher's exact test as the basis for discrimination of changed pathways.
We consider the existing version of CellNOptR as a robust and flexible starting point for multiple developments.
The stringently identified TF-binding interactions reported appear robust, and provide a starting point to extend focused TF studies into primary hematopoietic progenitors, where ChIP-seq remains technically challenging due to cell-number constraints.
The identification of an appropriate methodology will provide a starting point for the establishment of a robust evidence base for the care of the dying patient.
We conclude that multi-platform metabolomics is an approach that is both sensitive and robust and that it constitutes a good starting point for characterizing genetically modified organisms.
