The phrase "abundance is small" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to express that there is a limited amount of something that is typically abundant.
Example: "In this region, despite the usual expectations, the abundance is small due to the recent drought."
Alternatives: "scarcity is present" or "limited availability exists".
The ISM metallicity of X-ray fainter galaxies are uncertain, but at least SNe Ia contribution to the ISM abundance is smaller than in the X-ray luminous ones.
The fractional counting strategy appears to provide the optimal estimate: deviation from the true abundance is smallest for all subfamilies.
However, the magnitudes of the changes in mRNA abundance were smaller than in in vivo experiments, consistent with previous reports [27].
CC and GG are slightly underrepresented in the chromosome but not in the megaplasmid, although the differences in relative abundances are small (Table 6).
In contrast to previous model predictions, the abundance of Cl−(H2O) is small.
IMS peak B is assigned to the 13 -cis and 15 -cis geometric isomers which were calculated to have the same CCS values; however, the 15 -cis isomer is energetically more stable, its low kinetic barrier conversion back to the all- trans isomer is facile, and its abundance in thermally equilibrated samples is small.
The reviewers are indeed correct that the degree of reporter repression is small because the abundance of exosomal-delivered miRNA is low.
Marker rs6996321 (allele T) in FLG was negatively associated with C. jeikeium, although the abundance difference was small between the host genotypes (P < 0.05; Fig. 4b).
Even though miRNAs are mostly posttranscriptional regulators and their effect on mRNA abundance would be small in our cell models, we aimed to access differentially regulated biological processes and, when possible, associate these differences with miRNA regulation potential.
Although individual changes in protein abundance are relatively small, this pathway analysis suggests that RAB18 expression impacts on a variety of candidates and downstream regulators for processes that are involved in cytoskeletal organisation and maintenance.
