The phrase "ability of a sequence" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the characteristics or properties of a sequence, such as in mathematics, programming, or data analysis.
Example: "The ability of a sequence to converge is crucial in determining its usefulness in numerical methods."
Alternatives: "capability of a sequence" or "property of a sequence".
Robustness is defined as the ability of a sequence to maintain its structure despite perturbations to the sequence.
The inherent ability of a sequence to form alternative DNA conformations may be important for SSR generation, but does not explain differences observed among taxa.
Similarly, another model hypothesizes that internal MITE tandem repeats can be built during DNA replication based on the ability of a sequence to form stem-loop structures (Hikosaka and Kawahara 2004).
In the present instance, FASSM algorithm and coverage analysis based on FASSM scoring is used to assess the ability of a sequence in a given protein family to generate the best-representative PSSM profiles.
ARS activity was determined by testing the ability of a sequence of interest to confer replication to a plasmid otherwise lacking a functional yeast ARS as described by Wyrick et al. [ 24], or by a co-transformation approach that takes advantage of yeast's high frequency of homologous recombination.
Enhancer-blocking activity was based on the ability of a test sequence being able to block enhancer activity when placed between a known enhancer capable of driving expression of geneticin (G418 -resistance in the K562 erythroid cell line.
Previous studies showed that the ability of a test sequence to form a dimer through intermolecular G-quadruplex increased with template and salt concentration; however, the yield of RNA dimers correlated inversely with the size of monovalent cation (i.e., Li+ > Na+ > K+).
AREs and a few other RNA sequences have been found to be highly overrepresented in mRNAs with high turnover rate, but they are not strong predictors of the mRNA turnover rate [ 35], This emphasizes that the ability of a RNA sequences to destabilize mRNAs is highly context dependent and requires cooperative binding of several factors.
Accordingly, the DNA relative affinities for nucleosome formation (e.g. high-affinity Widom601 sequence) [ 19] should be based on an indirect readout mechanism, where the ability of a given DNA sequence to be deformed would account for the nucleosome assembly preferences [ 20- 24].
In that report, the authors have leveraged the ability of a next-generation sequencing to count individual sequencing reads and assign them to either known or 'dark matter' RNA categories.
The present work complements the study of López de Maturana et al. [ 10] by comparing, in terms of goodness of fit and predictive ability, a sequence of SEM with different restrictions on the (co variance matrices among model parameters.
