The phrase "are a minimal representation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing something that serves as a basic or essential depiction of a concept, idea, or object.
Example: "In this study, we argue that these data points are a minimal representation of the overall trends observed in the research."
Alternatives: "constitute a basic representation" or "serve as a fundamental representation".
They are a minimal representation of the regulatory principles, potentially representing overall effects of more complex, indirect regulatory loops.
Interestingly, our theoretical model circuits are a minimal representation of the real cells, and they have no consideration of the realistic details such as, cell size or, variation of cell size during growth.
These systems are normally modeled using Euler angles, which leads to singularities, or Euler parameters, which is not a minimal representation and thus not suited for Lagrange's equations.
Our goal is not a minimal representation of a PCA; we would like instead to develop a strategy that accurately identifies which genomic variables are truly associated with systematic variation of interest.
"This is still only a minimal representation of a human," said Griffith, but this kind of system could eventually eliminate the need for animal testing.
The purpose of stratification was to ensure a minimal representation in each subgroup to make further analyses possible.
For complex systems such as biological networks, rather than a precise description of the dynamics, which requires a quantity of kinetic details rarely accessible in large scale systems, it is often more reasonable to use a minimal representation, such as a graph of interactions between the molecular variables of interest [ 1- 4] and perhaps a sign describing the mode of the pairwise interaction.
Adopting a simple TS, as in Fig. 1, provides a minimal representation, although more complex TS profiles for nAChR are possible (32 34).
Linear analysis has been made using normal mode technique, while for weakly nonlinear analysis, we have used a minimal representation of truncated Fourier Series involving only two terms.
