The phrase "a reference order" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing an order that serves as a reference point or guideline for something, such as in business or legal documents.
Example: "Please ensure that the items are shipped according to a reference order we provided last week."
Alternatives: "a guiding order" or "a benchmark order".
This enables us to compute a reference order for each set of contigs that serves as a 'standard of truth'.
In this study a comprehensive BTA14 RH map was built using the bovine assembly information (Btau_3.1) as a reference order.
This approach exploits a comparative 2-point model using RH data and the bovine sequence assembly Btau_3.1 as a reference order.
Second, we use a comparative mapping approach that incorporates, in the optimization criteria to construct RH maps, a prior information of a reference order given here by the genome assembly.
We would like to note that such a reference order is not necessarily unique since contigs often contain or even consist of repeating regions which map non-uniquely to multiple locations.
This approach is based on a probabilistic Bayesian model integrating the usual RH probabilistic model with a probabilistic model of breakpoint occurrences with a reference order, typically obtained from the position of orthologous markers in a related sequenced genome [ 20].
Figure 3 shows the results from WinBUGS as a forest plot where all treatments were compared to placebo as a reference, ordered by their medians.
Without a reference, we cannot directly know the reference order.
Neutron diffraction measurements of the elastic lattice strains are used as a reference in order to discriminate between the various predictions.
The recorded data are used as a reference in order to validate the estimated subscriber trajectories.
At this point, interlocking tables are taken as a reference in order to obtain specific application from general one.
