The phrase "a reference sequence of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, genetics, or data analysis where a specific sequence is being referred to as a standard or baseline for comparison.
Example: "The researchers compared the DNA samples to a reference sequence of the human genome to identify mutations."
Alternatives: "a standard sequence of" or "a baseline sequence of".
J. Craig Venter, founder of the J. Craig Venter Institute, in Rockville, MD, is working with Complete Genomics to validate its technology, comparing the sequence that it generates with a reference sequence of his own genome.
We produced a reference sequence of the 1-gigabase chromosome 3B of hexaploid bread wheat.
Initially, all 9,475,890 reads were aligned to a reference sequence of human genomic DNA, followed by quality trimming to remove low-quality reads and excluding reads with similarities to ambiguous human sequences, resulting in 9,309,538 reads (98.24%) with a possible human source (Fig. 1B).
Of the 582 final contigs (contiguous sequences) of length greater than 100 bp generated from the de novo assembly, 21 contigs mapped onto a reference sequence of 2009 H1N1 influenza, with an N50 contig size of 1,167 bp and coverage of 89.5% of the genome (Fig. 8B).
Let us have an input set of M reads, and a reference sequence of size N.
A reference sequence of length m contains (m − k)/ (k − p) +1 k-mers with an overlap of p bases.
If the founding parent of the TILLING population has a sequenced genome as a reference, sequencing of select mutant individuals in candidate genes or whole genome resequencing can be done to identify specific gene mutations that lead to phenotypes of interest (e.g.[ 290]).
To refer to specific sites, we chose the first BRD of BRD4 as a reference sequence for numbering of residues.
For the nuclear markers redundant sequences were collapsed using CD-HIT-454 (ref. 55), single sequence clusters were removed and unique sequences were aligned with mafft56 to a reference sequence for each of the markers and alleles were counted.
The transcriptome may serve as a reference sequence for study of other succulent halophytes.
Meanwhile the nucleotide sequence in DQ167400.1 should be used as a reference sequence for mitochondrial genes of Nipponbare.
