The phrase "a given genome copy" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or technical contexts when referring to a specific instance of a genome that is being discussed or analyzed.
Example: "In our study, we focused on a given genome copy to understand the variations present in the population."
Alternatives: "a specific genome copy" or "an individual genome copy".
For each IS group with at least two alignable copies in a given genome, we calculated pairwise nucleotide divergence between copies with the MEGA ver 4.0 software based on observed nucleotide substitutions (Kumar et al. 2008).
These two control regions appear to undergo concerted evolution that acts to homogenize the nucleotide sequence of each duplicate copy within a given genome [ 7- 9].
For those orthologous groups with multiple copies in a given genome (co-orthologs), we used the sequence that covered the largest fraction of the human ortholog.
This problem could be solved by analyzing the phylogenetic locations of all of the 16S rRNA gene copies in a given genome.
Horizontal gene transfer, for instance, can increase the abundance of an orthologous group by adding extra gene copies in a given genome, increasing the orthologous group abundance as a whole.
This displays typical characteristics of mobile elements such as an integrase and long terminal inverted repeat with multiple copies in a given genome and typical features of viruses such as a protein-primed DNA polymerase and packaging or capsid protein [ 34].
De novo methods do not need a set of reference sequences to works: they used various approaches relying on the structural properties of the transposable elements as the presence of terminal repeats or the fact that transposons are generally duplicated in multiple copies in a given genome.
In a given genome, some TE families are present in few copies, while others can reach hundreds of thousands of copies.
The "copy numbers" of individual domain architectures range from one to several hundred in a given genome.
Comparing TE copy number in regions near genes may therefore provide insights about the number of recent insertions in a given genome.
