The phrase "a transformation comparable to" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing changes or shifts that are similar in nature or significance to another transformation.
Example: "The technological advancements we are witnessing today represent a transformation comparable to the Industrial Revolution."
Alternatives: "a change similar to" or "a shift akin to".
Thus, homeotic transformations comparable to those in Drosophila occur in mutant mice that are null for all the paralogs belonging to a particular group.
A drug concentration of 0.4 mM applied to aerated cells for 3 or 6 days results in a transformation rate comparable to that observed following an X-ray dose of 1 Gray.
Remarkably, overexpression of wild-type MELK induces robust oncogenic transformation both in vitro and in vivo with a transforming potency comparable to that of the highly oncogenic mutant allele of PIK3CA.
Hence, a transformation to comparable standard units would be misleading, and the numerically given activities in many cases may not be strictly comparable.
The ability of E1a and Ras to induce cellular transformation was far greater in PER2 S662G mice than in wild-type MEFs, while the level of transformation was comparable to that of Per2 KO MEFs.
Figure 4 shows that complete deletion (69 bp) of NUMT13 (which also deletes 39 out of 229 bp of ARS1215) results in plasmid loss rate and transformation efficiencies comparable to those of empty vectors.
We previously reported that Asx 22P4 Sce double-homozygous embryos that were derived from heterozygous mothers show severe homeotic transformations that are comparable to the transformations observed in Sce mutant embryos derived from females with an Sce mutant germ line (Scheuermann et al., 2010).
Even though in the present analyses we have transfected two plasmids, one containing the E1 and pIX genes and a second expressing hAAT with a plasmid ratio of 1 1, the transformation efficiency was comparable to transfection with the E1-plasmid alone (data not shown).
The model shows that the transformation is complete on a time scale comparable to the velocity of sound.
His talk flows with a richness comparable to his prose.
