The phrase "a concatenated alignment" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to data processing, bioinformatics, or any field where sequences or data are combined or aligned together.
Example: "The researchers presented a concatenated alignment of the DNA sequences to highlight the similarities among the species."
Alternatives: "a combined alignment" or "a merged alignment".
A concatenated alignment was reconstructed from the aligned protein sequences, and all genes were weighted equally (supplementary fig. S1, Supplementary Material online).
The sequences were aligned with publicly available Emu sequences for each region and a concatenated alignment was created for the control and COI regions.
Each individual gene was aligned separately, and the separate gene alignments were combined into a concatenated alignment (totaling 1279 or 1293 amino acids for the alignment including or excluding the Solifugae, respectively).
A concatenated alignment dataset was produced by putting each ortholog alignment in series using Bioedit v7.2.0 (Hall, 1999).
A consensus phylogenetic tree of NCLDVs including CroV was generated from a concatenated alignment of four universal proteins of NCLDVs.
First, a well-sampled tree focusing on the 21 species from the Saccharomycotina group was built from a concatenated alignment of 1,137 widespread proteins.
First, the consensus phylogenetic tree of the NCLDVs based on a concatenated alignment of four universal NCVOGs showed that the CroV branch emerges before the Mimiviridae cluster.
Phylogenetic analyses based on a concatenated alignment of chloroplast protein sequences suggested that B. hypnoides is sister to all Chlorophyceae and this placement received moderate support.
The consensus phylogenetic tree of the NCLDVs was obtained from a tree constructed from a concatenated alignment of four universal NCVOGs [6]: primase-helicase (NCVOG0023), DNA polymerase (NCVOG0038), packaging ATPase (NCVOG0249), and A2L-like transcription factor (NCVOG0262).
To achieve this, we built a concatenated alignment of 69 widespread proteins that were present in at least 58 of the 60 species used and displayed one to one orthology relationships (see Material and Methods).
The phylogenetic tree of the NCLDVs based on a concatenated alignment of 4 universal NCVOGs (primase-helicase, DNA polymerase, packaging ATPase, and A2L-like transcription factor) indicated that CroV is related with the Mimiviridae family (Figure 1).
