The phrase "a gap was inserted" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where something is added or placed between two elements, often in discussions about text, data, or physical spaces.
Example: "In the final version of the document, a gap was inserted to improve readability between the sections."
Alternatives: "a space was added" or "a void was created."
A small proportion of sequences did not have a nucleotide for alignment, and a gap was inserted at that site.
A polymorphic site contains variant nucleotides in a small proportion of sequences, and a gap was inserted at the corresponding position in the remaining sequences.
In half of these sequences, a gap was inserted between the /s/ of the penultimate syllable and its remainder to form a target.
Focusing on the final predicted β-strand of these three proteins; Q4CQ17 and Q293I2 have partial β-signal motif matches such as KFGLTWSS and AFGMRFVV, while Q7RE39 has a match KFGFMMHI but one protein in its cluster, a putative Tom40 of Plasmodium berghei (Q4Z5G3), only matches (partially) when a gap is inserted after glycine (KFG-MMHI).
For each of the n MSAs, If no gap was inserted into the existing alignment in step 3, then no new gap is necessary in this step.
Method Weight-bearing implants with a 0.75-mm surrounding gap were inserted bilaterally in the knees of 10 dogs.
The detailed band structures in the vicinity of the opened band gap are inserted.
An unpaired gap is inserted to the position corresponding to the deleted column 4 in Ao.
We have shown that most gaps are inserted incorrectly, but following a pattern mostly dictated by the guide-tree.
Furthermore, in the recurrences, E i, j) and F i, j) represent the two cases when gaps are inserted because of different sequence length, where a gap is a consecutive run of spaces in an alignment, represented as a dash on a protein/DNA sequence alignment.
To assess to what degree gaps were inserted at correct positions, we used a set of simulated sequences (Capella-Gutierrez et al., 2009).
