The phrase "alter relative" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to describe a change in relation to something, but without additional context, it is ambiguous and unclear.
Example: "To improve the design, we need to alter relative positions of the elements on the page."
Alternatives: "change in relation" or "modify in context".
These data accord well with prior results that link substance dependence to 5' NrCAM variants that alter levels of expression and to 3' NRXN3 variants that alter relative levels of splicing isoforms [45], [53].
Over longer time scales, changes in precipitation regimes will alter relative abundances, allow new species to colonize, and cause the local extirpation of current members of the community [8].
However, this process may alter relative protein abundance, potentially diminishing the ability to detect meaningful differences in relative protein expression of those proteins with sufficient abundance to detect without such pre-enrichment steps.
EcLPS did not alter (relative to unstimulated osteoblasts) the expression of ALP and in vitro mineralization.
Evidence also suggested that differences in baseline viral load may also alter relative treatment effect.
Environmental fluctuations could also temporarily relax stabilizing selection around local adaptive peaks and alter relative peak heights, thereby facilitating peak shifts (Whitlock 1997).
Their extended limbs, hinged high at the knee, altered relative proportions to magical effect.
In addition to augmenting acoustic power, resonators may also, by altering relative intensities of overtones, change the quality of a tone.
The automobile, the airplane and the telephone, for example, have effectively altered relative concepts of time and space.
Structurally designed site-directed mutants of COMT showed altered relative substrate preferences for lignin precursors and benzaldehyde derivatives.
The interstitial water in these microniches can be dramatically altered, relative to ambient water, by biological processes, which produce geochemical conditions that favour carbonate precipitation.
