The phrase "and characterized a large" is not correct and usable in written English as it is incomplete and lacks context.
It could be used in a sentence where you are describing something that has been characterized in a certain way, but it needs additional information to be clear.
Example: "The study focused on the species and characterized a large portion of its habitat."
Alternatives: "and defined a significant" or "and described a considerable".
To characterize the natural diversity of Brachypodium and provide a valuable new tool to the growing list of resources available to Brachypodium researchers, we created and characterized a large, diverse collection of inbred lines.
Owing to the efficiency of this in vivo transposition system, we have recovered, identified and characterized a large number of insertions that provide a direct view of the regulatory activities associated with specific genomic regions.
To begin to address these questions, we have systematically identified and characterized a large set of submicroscopic insertion and deletion (indel) variants (between 1 and 200 kb in length) among ten inbred lines from a single natural population of the plant species Mimulus guttatus.
With an unprecedented aperture and sensitivity, and with the use of a hybrid technique, it will be able to collect and characterize a large number of Extensive Air Showers generated by primaries with energies greater than 1019 eV.
Haplotypes 2 and 4 are less abundant, yet have wide distributions and characterize a large number of individuals and locations.
Our objectives were to 1) identify and characterize a large number of expressed genes in A. tridentata, 2) detect sequence differences within and between sspp.
As part of a biodiversity survey of the Hawaiian red algae, or Rhodophyta, we have been collecting and characterizing a large number of samples from the entire archipelago over the past three years.
The goal of this study was to develop and characterize a large number of locus specific genic and genomic SSR markers which can be effectively used for molecular characterization of mulberry species/genotypes.
Our goals were to (i) characterize the floral transcriptome of Z. celata, (ii) identify and characterize a large number of gene-based markers, including single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and SSRs, for future genetic analyses, and (iii) determine whether analysis of the floral transciptome includes genes belonging to gene family that encodes the GSI reaction.
Identification and manual verification of the sequences of 28 HRP isoenzymes do not only contribute a set of peroxidases for industrial, biological and biomedical applications, but also provide valuable information on the reliability of the approach in identifying and characterizing a large group of isoenzymes.
We conducted a large-scale investigation of the incidence of PEDV in pigs with diarrhea in South Korea and consequently identified and characterized a novel PEDV variant with a large genomic deletion.
