The phrase "a template and thus" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to indicate a conclusion or result that follows from the mention of a template in a discussion or argument.
Example: "The document serves as a template and thus can be easily modified for various projects."
Alternatives: "a template and therefore" or "a template and as a result".
In this study, D1R derived from rat hypothalamus was used as a template and thus self-organized on stamps.
The mRNA plays a pivotal role in protein synthesis as it is used as a template and thus translated into protein [ 34].
In contrast, HR is an error-prone process, requires a sister chromatid as a template, and thus can only occur during the S and G2 phases [ 16, 26].
In contrast to homologous recombination (HR), which also repairs DSBs and helps to restart stalled replication forks, NHEJ does not require a template and is thus considered error-prone.
HR pathway can accurately repair DSB via exchange of genetic material between two similar or identical strands of DNA; NHEJ is a repairing process in which the break ends are directly ligated without the need for a homologous template and thus is error-prone.
Therefore the radiation energy could be transferred from the adsorbed nucleotides to a ZnS template (and thus contribute to the CO2 reduction), but not in the reverse direction.
However, it is possible that our cell-free system might not be completely appropriate or sufficient for cRNA synthesis from a vRNA template, and thus we do not exclude the possibility that IREF-2 also functions in unprimed cRNA synthesis.
The main merit of region-based method is their ability of resistance against noise and texture distortions since abundant information can be adopted by using a relatively large template, and thus providing a high matching accuracy.
The approach reported in this study could potentially be used to simplify the fabrication process of noble metal nanoalloys, which usually entails multiple steps and a previously synthesized hard metal template, and thus guide the design and creation of high-performance catalysts.
Since a double-stranded RNA provides the template and thus the functional interface for the derivation of single-stranded catalytic RNA, a straightforward explanation for the origin of catalytic RNA is when double-stranded RNA would also have preceded the catalytic single-stranded RNA in evolution.
One possibility is that our donor vector introduces large replacement DNA sequence into the fly genome (4.8k bp of genomic sequence with 1.9k bp of repair template) and, thus, single-strand DNA breaks may not allow the whole replacement sequence to be used as a repair template through HDR.
