Example: "The results of the study indicate that certain environmental factors are associated with variability in species populations."
Alternatives: "are linked to variability" or "are connected with variability".
Attempts have been made to study patterns of gene expression that are associated with variability in behavior that is under epigenetic control.
Genetic variants in NER genes are associated with variability of lung cancer risk.
These differences in adiposity are associated with variability in metabolic traits such as insulin sensitivity and blood pressure.
We undertook the task of systematically reviewing all studies describing the epidemiology of hepatitis C in drug-user populations to address questions regarding factors that are associated with variability in HCV transmission.
In addition, our analysis allowed an assessment of whether specific DNA features are associated with variability in local recombination rates, a question that is particularly relevant in the honey bee genome with its exceptionally high recombination rate [ 27].
Therefore, this study cannot provide sensitivity or specificity per se, but it aims to identify factors that are associated with variability in reporting multiple cause of death and that perhaps contribute to inaccuracy in reporting underlying cause.
Heterogeneity in semi-arid regions is associated with variability in rainfall patterns (Augustine 2010; Sanchiriro and Wyatt 2002; Hasler et al. 2005).
This study was designed to resolve uncertainty concerning whether the position of the examiner is associated with variability in the results of the nearpoint alternate cover test (NACT).
The results of this study showed high variability in soybean yield for two soils and two management practices, which was associated with variability in soil texture and organic carbon content in the top 20-cm soil layer, but not with surface topography.
For instance, in mice, variability in hippocampal-dependent behaviors was associated with variability in the pattern of the overall distribution of gene expression levels, as assessed by variance in the distribution of gene expression levels in the hippocampus.
