The phrase "a subset of transcripts" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a smaller group or portion of transcripts that belong to a larger collection.
Example: "The researchers analyzed a subset of transcripts from the interviews to identify common themes."
Alternatives: "a portion of transcripts" or "a segment of transcripts".
Phosphorylation of eIF2α leads to inhibition of global translation, concomitant with selective translation of a subset of transcripts including the ATF4 transcription factor, to first cope with ER stress and restore ER function [33].
Patterns of transcript expression were validated on a subset of transcripts using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction at 4 h, 7 d, and six additional time points across a four week time period.
Patterns of transcript expression were validated for a subset of transcripts by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction using RNA samples collected from insects fed on healthy or virus-infected maize for between a 4 h and seven week period.
Mathematical modeling further supports a temperature-sensitive mechanism to protect a subset of transcripts from ongoing bulk degradation instead of increased transcription.
This model could explain the coupling we observed between the transcriptional and translational responses: Myc binding to promoters enhances gene transcription and then further, for a subset of transcripts, Myc enhances mRNA capping of the nascent transcripts, thereby increasing their translation efficiency.
A subset of transcripts corresponding to gibberellin biosynthesis oxidases and ethylene responsive transcription factors (AP2/ERF) (cluster I) was induced by CS, although subjected to an antagonistic effect of GA application (Fig. 6).
Thus, in agreement with RT-qPCR data, mathematical modeling supports enhanced stabilization of a subset of transcripts via a temperature-dependent protective mechanism; this, rather than increased transcription, leads to the observed increase in their relative abundances at the low body temperature of torpor.
However, asnB appears pseudogenized by a frameshift around an adenosine 8-mer but previous work has shown that a subset of transcripts from frameshift-based pseudogenes can encode intact enzymes due to transcriptional slippage at homopolymeric sites (Tamas et al. 2008).
We also examined the distribution of several other endogenous targets, but found no difference when SF2/ASF is over expressed, suggesting that this effect is specific for a subset of transcripts rather than a global phenomenon (data not shown).
If IL-3 coordinates this phenotype in part through stabilizing mRNAs, then a subset of transcripts linked to these functions will decay slower in IL-3 than when IL-3 is withdrawn or replaced with the differentiating cytokine G-CSF.
Overall these analyses indicate that SR45 affects the AS of a subset of transcripts of SR protein-encoding genes, which in turn may regulate the splicing of other transcripts and eventually control the different phenotypes observed in sr45-1plants.
