The phrase "a set of isolates" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing groups of isolated items, organisms, or data points, often in scientific or technical discussions.
Example: "In our study, we analyzed a set of isolates to determine their genetic diversity."
Alternatives: "a collection of isolates" or "a group of isolates".
Neafsey et al studied a large panel of SNPs across the 14 chromosomes in a set of isolates including isolates from Brazil, Senegal and Thailand –three geographic areas sampled here as well- and found that the lowest diversity was in Brazil [46].
Clustering refers to a set of isolates that have the same fingerprint pattern or genotype.
This VNTR system was applied to a set of isolates from Norway and Chile.
For the analysis of genomic variation, sequence data from a set of isolates can be mapped against a reference genome to identify variations that are biologically significant.
The CBS1622 isolate from Europe, obtained from a patient with the oldest documented case of a C. gattii infection (20 ), was found to be genetically indistinguishable from a set of isolates from North America.
However, the clonal nature or inherent genetic variability of bacteria may limit the ability of PFGE either to link isolates or to detect relatedness among a set of isolates from a single outbreak (4 ).
Thus, knowledge does not exist as a set of isolated formal propositions; all that we know is within a system.
Although powerful techniques for sparse estimation exist (e.g.,[19]), they usually assume that the input is sparse, but not necessarily in such a way that the input is a set of (isolated) deltas, and much less that the "basis functions" are non-overlapping.
The most prominent and oldest of these hypotheses, the seamount endemicity hypothesis (SMEH), states that seamounts possess a set of isolating mechanisms that produce highly endemic faunas.
