The phrase "a subset of characteristic" is not correct in standard written English.
It may be intended to describe a specific group or category that shares certain traits, but the phrasing is awkward and unclear.
Example: "The study focused on a subset of characteristics that define the target population."
Alternatives: "a group of traits" or "a category of features".
Our results provide an alternative explanation: aberrant activation of the E2-target MYC leads to a robust induction of a subset of genes characteristic of an E2 response.
Combined methylation and gene expression analyses revealed a subset of genes characteristic of the Claudin-low BC subtype, exhibiting epigenetic-regulated gene expression in BC cell lines and tumours, suggesting that methylation patterns are likely to underpin subtype-specificity.
If one assumes that tumor cells arise by a wide variety of mechanisms, all the while sharing a limited number of key characteristics, then apoptin simply needs to recognize one (or a subset) of these characteristics.
If during change detection we find changes only for a subset of those characteristics, we can flush only the out-of-date contents of the corresponding profile windows.
A subset of lifestyle characteristics remained significant in multivariate models.
The previous section has brought to light a subset of test characteristics that together lead to the problem of information within non-targeted genetic profiling: quantity, complexity, and fluidity of information.
To quantitatively confirm these results, the predicted localization pattern of a subset of probes showing characteristic staining pattern was independently scored by an expert observer that was blind to the chemical structure and the predicted localization of the probes (Figure 5).
Recently, a subset of gliomas with characteristic promoter DNA methylation alterations, referred to as G-CIMP, have been identified in the context of TCGA GBM samples [33].
In order to obtain a subset of gene families characteristic for endofungal symbionts we conducted comparative analyses by computation of similarity clusters with related Burkholderia species.
He also highlighted that the ban "applies only to a subset of firearms with characteristics New York State has determined to be particularly dangerous and unnecessary for self-defense; it does not totally disarm New York's citizens; and it does not meaningfully jeopardize their right to self-defense".
