The phrase "amount of repeats" is not correct in standard written English.
The correct term would be "number of repeats" as "amount" is typically used for uncountable nouns.
Example: "The number of repeats in this experiment is crucial for obtaining reliable results."
Alternatives: "count of repeats" or "total repeats".
The large amount of repeats, especially high copy repeats, in the genomes of higher animals and plants makes whole genome assembly (WGA) quite difficult.
The small amount of repeats is surprising, only two (L1M4 and AluY) in the gene; one would expect a lot more based on the repeat rich nature of the chromosome Y.
Therefore, large amount of repeats in proteins is less likely to be regarded as 'junk proteins' [ 99], which merely have non-essential roles.
This process is also precisely controlled in such a manner that only a designated amount of repeats are added and no uncontrolled elongation takes place.
However, D. simulans has total map distances which are about 30% longer than those of D. melanogaster [ 62], while the amount of repeats in all D. simulans chromosomes is smaller.
The overall amount of repeats was quite variable in different species and ranged from the 25.04% of reads in O. coarctata [HHKK] to 66.42% of reads in O. officinalis [CC; 651 Mbp].
Trials 2 9 of each block were balanced with respect to the number of Novel and Repeated trials within the conditions GRASP, TRAJECTORY, and PLACE, although the amount of Novel trials exceeded the amount of Repeated trials in each condition (58% Novel trials, 42% Repeated trials).
Solid state NMR was employed to determine the amount of repeating groups with unreacted vinyl groups and a molar ratio of 28% was obtained.
Moreover, the architects noted a great amount of repeated references to external components (147 to be exact) during the definition of architectural rules.
This observation suggests that while the ratio is centered around 1.2 for the majority of topics, there are a few topics obtain large amount of repeated attention.
