The phrase "assumed to be functionally" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing something that is taken for granted or accepted as having a certain function or role.
Example: "In this model, the variables are assumed to be functionally independent of each other."
Alternatives: "considered to be functionally" or "regarded as functionally".
Because genes within the same modules tend to maintain a consistent, correlated expression relationship independent of phenotype or experimental condition, such genes are assumed to be functionally associated, and shared regulatory and/or functional pathways may be inferred.
ERK1 and ERK2 have been assumed to be functionally equivalent; recent studies have distinguished critical functional differences between these two proteins.
We used a multivariate, trait-based metric of plant functional diversity (Petchy's FD) that includes traits that are assumed to be functionally important, meaning these traits inform about the differences between species that affect the target ecosystem function [31].
The material is assumed to be functionally graded in the radial direction.
The cylindrical panels are reinforced by aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) which are assumed to be functionally graded (FG) through the thickness direction with different types of distributions.
The temperature dependent material properties of GRC are assumed to be functionally graded in a piece-wise pattern by changing the volume fraction of graphene in the panel thickness direction and are estimated by the extended Halpin-Tsai micromechanical model.
As with the E. coli system, the B. subtilis Tat components have been shown to form two types of complexes; a TatC-containing complex that we assume to be functionally analogous to the TatABC complex, and a separate TatA complex.
The genes in a given cluster are usually assumed to be potentially functionally related or to be influenced by common upstream factors.
The discovery of aberrant DNA methylation in complex diseases, especially in cancer, has focused investigation on specific genes of interest and on genomic regions assumed to be important functionally, such as promoters and CpG islands [ 38, 39].
The material properties of GRC face sheets are assumed to be piece-wise functionally graded by changing the volume fraction of graphene in the thickness direction.
The layers of FG coatings are assumed to be made by functionally graded materials (FGMS) combining of ceramic and metal phases and the core of the shell is made from homogeneous material.
