The phrase "as a random set of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a collection of items or elements that are chosen without a specific pattern or order.
Example: "The data was analyzed as a random set of samples to ensure unbiased results."
Alternatives: "as an arbitrary collection of" or "as a haphazard group of".
But in contrast to common methods, where the fraction of direct links among all links is defined, we calculate this fraction as dependent on a random set of genes (nodes) with the same degree distribution in a network (further, we use the notation referred to as "random cluster" for such a set).
As a control comparison, a random set of 500 genes (~10% of the genome) that were classed as 'present' in both the Dd2 and Hb3 hybridisations were examined.
Gamazon et al. (2010) found that chemotherapeutic drug susceptibility associated SNPs are more likely to be eQTL and to be associated with the transcriptional expression level of many genes as potential master regulators, compared with a random set of SNPs found in association studies.
When it's going badly, then you feel it: there's the gluey fumbling of the attempts to gain traction on the empty screen, there's the misshapen awkwardness of each try at a sentence (as if you'd been equipped with a random set of pieces from different jigsaws).
A series of simulated similarity searches were performed using a random set of active compounds as queries.
Enriched TFBSs were identified using Fisher's exact test at P < 0.01 by comparing the putative Arx target genes with a random set of 1000 genes as background.
We computed the expected number of significant genes based on the strict null hypothesis, which assumes that all findings are technical or statistical artifacts and that a random set of genes is detected as significant in each individual study.
In addition, we reassessed a subset of 368 samples from the 1,958 UK controls including all 67 samples for which initial genotyping indicated a P1[B] deletion, and a random set of 301 DNAs scored as having neither a deletion nor an insertion.
In order to investigate whether certain amino acids were preferentially enriched around S-palmitoylation sites, we compared the amino acid environment of the 535 sites present in SwissPalm against a random set of cysteines not predicted as S-palmitoylated (Materials and methods).
As a control, we have extracted genomic regions from a random set of genes.
