The phrase "an integrative study" is correct and can be used in written English.
You can use it when referring to an approach to research that combines different sources and brings together various theories or ideas. For example, "The researchers conducted an integrative study that incorporated both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection."
Second, we demonstrate the application of such methods for an integrative study on financial and sustainability aspects of a complex energy system.
It is to note that many different methods with their individual assumptions and errors are combined in an integrative study, and that any of the modules (probabilistic tractography, graph theoretical analysis, anatomical image segmentation, perfusion measurement, artefact control, normalisation etc).
We present an integrative study where wind data collected by an Earth-orbiting satellite is combined with simultaneous information on location of a model organism: the Cory's shearwater, which annual movements, contrarily to most dispersed organisms or particles, can now be tracked by electronic geolocators.
To identify iron-responsive processes, we carried out an integrative study with physiological, transcriptomic and genetic approaches.
We remedy this with an integrative study on the reproductive tract muscles (anatomy, innervation, contractions, aminergic modulation) in female flies.
More broadly, we demonstrate that an integrative study design is an efficient alternative to existing methods for the identification of genes involved in complex traits.
This study represent an unprecedented integrative study and even though the conclusive findings are not world shocking, the use of state-of-the-art technologies, the experimental design and data integration really makes this a reference work for future integrative studies and puts this study in the class of pioneering integrative -omics studies.
We determined the variation of absorption spectra of the L-M opsin alleles of a group of free-ranging spider monkeys, and measured the chromaticity and luminance of their fruit diets and background leaves as well as their close-range fruit foraging behaviors to achieve a novel, integrative study examining the utility of color vision to a natural population of New World monkeys.
A recent integrative study on human cells that included analysis of chromatin state maps, transcription factor-binding sites and modelling of enhancer-gene pairs combined with GWAS studies of autoimmunity-associated SNPs suggest a direct role for distal regulatory elements in disease aetiology.
Thus, we conducted a genome-wide integrative study of miRNAs in human liver with the purpose of clarifying their functional impact on the transcriptome and on complex human traits.
Participants selected for this study were part of an integrative genomics study with a primary aim of identifying novel genomic determinants of CHD.
