The phrase "a variation in attributes" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing differences or changes in characteristics or qualities of a subject, such as in scientific, technical, or descriptive contexts.
Example: "The study revealed a variation in attributes among the different species of plants observed in the experiment."
Alternatives: "a change in characteristics" or "a difference in qualities."
Given this variation in attributes, it is useful to compare the sequences among the envelope glycoproteins (GP), which are critical for viral cell entry and the primary target for antibody responses (elaborated below).
A part of this effect could probably be attributed to a variation in patient populations between the hospitals.
This observation shows a non-linear response in the phase change at − 47.5, − 25, and 47.5 V, attributed to a variation in capacitive coupling as graphene becomes more conductive because of a change in the carrier density and gate voltage.
The randomness in the direction of the induction arrows in the Cambay rift basin may be attributed to a variation in thickness of the sediments and errors arising from measurement of the vertical magnetic field.
Previous efforts to compare the transcript and protein abundance, at single or multiple gene levels, have demonstrated a great variation in outcome, attributed to both biological and technical issues [ 1- 8].
For example, deaths caused by malignant melanoma, a cancer of the pigmented cells in the skin, are six times more frequent in New Zealand than in Iceland, a variation attributed to differences in sun exposure.
The CC strains display a vast amount of variation in obvious attributes such as coat color, behavior, body weight, growth size, etc. (Collaborative Cross Consortium 2012).
This research shows that a population-based approach can complement individual-based studies when attempting to disentangle the causes and consequences of variation in cultural attributes, given that demography may play an important role in social learning processes.
We investigated the relationships among the vertical layers of a temperate forest and the power of environmental and spatial factors to explain the variation in two attributes of shrub and herbaceous layers: cover and diversity.
We found considerable variation in canopy attributes both within and between continents (Fig. 3).
