The phrase "a specific whole" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a particular entity or complete unit that is distinct and identifiable.
Example: "In the context of the project, we need to consider a specific whole rather than just individual components."
Alternatives: "a particular entity" or "a defined unit".
For example, S. bicolor has a larger average gene family size than Z. mays, despite Z. mays having undergone a lineage specific whole genome duplication since its divergence from S. bicolor [ 102].
A teleost fish specific whole genome duplication resulted in duplication of the Mhc region to two different chromosomes, each experiencing subsequent rearrangements and gene losses [ 32, 33].
Using a custom designed strand specific whole genome microarray, a total of 797 NATs targeted against annotated loci have been detected.
Cultivation conditions were optimized for Acetobacter sp. CCTCC M209061, which acted as an anti-Prelog specific whole cell biocatalysts for reduction of prochiral ketones.
To further investigate, we designed a highly sensitive and specific whole blood assay for detecting AR-V7 and AR-V9.
For example, Brassica rapa underwent a species-specific whole genome duplication in addition to a whole genome duplication at the origin of the Brassicales clade [ 37].
In a recent report [ 19], GPCRs with non-peptide ligands were reported to have a significantly higher retention rate than GPCRs with peptide ligands after a lineage-specific whole genome duplications in the pufferfish Tetraodon nigroviridis more than 230 Myrs ago.
Prior to the teleost lineage, a teleost-specific whole genome duplication [16], [17] resulted in the duplication of the genes encoding Xinα and Xinβ.
HMGA2 also has a transcriptional coverage profile that indicates it shares a bi-directional promoter with RPSAP52 (Figure 3c), neatly demonstrating the added insights possible with a strand-specific, whole transcriptome approach to RNA-Seq.
Teleost genomes have experienced a teleost-specific whole genome duplication event (TGD) [ 23, 24], which is thought to have triggered an acceleration of chromosomal rearrangements [ 4, 25, 26].
