The phrase "a small divergence between" is grammatically correct and commonly used in written English.
It can be used to describe a minor difference or variation between two things. Example: There was a small divergence between the two versions of the report, but it didn't significantly affect the overall findings.
Although our nuclear DNA datasets were small, divergence between G. pusilla and G. calmariensis was strongly supported.
Freddie Mac, which has roughly the same spreads as Fannie Mae, has had a much smaller divergence between the two, which he said proves that the gap at Fannie Mae was related to its failure to hedge, not changes in the interest rate spread.
Smaller values signify a smaller divergence and thus more similarity.
A sharp genetic divergence over very short geographic distances compared to a small genetic divergence between large geographic distances also suggested that the SNPs were subjected to natural selection, and ecological factors had an important evolutionary role in polymorphisms at this locus.
In contrast, we found very little divergence between A. acuta and A. tenella, indeed the smallest amount of divergence among any of the taxa we examined; one substitution over 4048 aligned nucleotide positions (0.0002).
It is thought that reads from LA1589 samples can be readily and has been successfully mapped to the Heinz1706 reference genome because of the small nucleotide divergence between the two genomes [ 39– 439.
The small divergences in DNA sequences between extant T. pallescens populations from the Pyrenees, the Austrian Alps and N Greece are consistent with their separate evolution as they subsequently regressed to different alpine regions as the climate warmed after successive glaciations.
The smallest genetic divergence between two species is found between C. briggsae and C. sp. 9 (0.079 substitutions/site), between C. angaria and C. sp. 12 (0.068 substitutions/site), and between C. drosophilae and C. sp. 2 (0.057 substitutions/site).
The small divergences (0.9 2.42% COI; Table S3) observed between Santa Catalina Island localities (B1 B3) and the mainland (i.e., San Diego B6) may indicate a recent exchange, consistent with the young age of the island (∼1 Mya), which is suggested to have separated from southern California [45].
Despite a small mean sequence divergence of 1.53% between the sister species, 25.1% of 18,115 observed amino acid substitutions were inferred by α statistics to be driven by positive selection.
