The phrase "able to define a set of" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing the capability to specify or clarify a particular group or category of items, concepts, or criteria.
Example: "The researchers were able to define a set of parameters that would guide their study effectively."
Alternatives: "capable of specifying a group of" or "able to outline a collection of".
We were able to define a set of coordinately expressed CTAs and novel, growth promoting genes that are activated in association with coordinated promoter demethylation.
Using pharmacologic demethylation in normal, minimally-transformed oral keratinocyte cell lines combined with Cancer Outlier Profile Analysis (COPA) in primary tissues as a discovery approach, we were able to define a set of candidate proto-oncogenes that undergo aberrant demethylation and increased expression in primary human tumors.
Knowing that DNA methylation occurs almost exclusively at CpG dinucleotides in adult somatic human cells, and that the MBD2-MBD polypeptide very selectively binds CpG methylated DNA, we were able to define a set of null probes that interrogate regions of the genome that contain an extremely low CpG density that should never be enriched.
By maintaining a systematic approach we were able to define a unique set of high quality care recommendations to relieve symptoms and lessen the suffering of children in palliative care.
Knowledge of the EHR data elements which are commonly available from most EHRs is required to be able to define a common set of criteria.
We, therefore, analyzed assembled BC data from different repositories and by integrating these results with our previous study comprising 200 HER2-amplified tumors [ 5], we were able to define a core set of significant CNAs and recurrent amplifications.
We then excluded probe sets that showed dichlorvos-dependent changes in gene expression; in this way, we were able to define a group of developmentally-regulated, dichlorvos-independent probe sets.
However, our 47-gene set was able to define a new tumour group (i.e., subgroup 7).
Despite this divergence in developmental systems, we were able to define two sets of conserved genes possibly active in a taxon-specific phase of ventral enclosure and cuticle formation in Nematoda, and in a potential phylotypic stage of Ecdysozoa.
From this study we were able to define sets of genes that correspond to, and therefore define, the EHEC pathogen type.
We are now able to define the basic setting for belief manipulation.
