The phrase "align means" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be used in contexts where you are defining or explaining what "align" signifies, but it requires additional context to be meaningful.
Example: "In this context, align means to bring into agreement or alignment with a standard."
Alternatives: "align refers to" or "align signifies".
The five quality related statistics used were the percentage of clusters passed filtering (%PF clusters), mean quality score (PF clusters), percentage of reads aligned, mean alignment score and percentage of alignment error, and had the following population means and standard deviations, respectively, 93.39 ± 1.85, 36.34 ± 0.5, 72.24 ± 3.0, 290.6 ± 15.13 and 0.98 ± 0.15.
It is also an objective of the EIM program information and content management when called for directly fulfills aligned means that business needs.
All these hits are likely true homologs, because sequence identity was high (mean: 91.3%, range: 87.1%–97.4%), as was the proportion of known pre-miRNA sequence aligned (mean: 87.0%, range: 58.3%–98.5%), strongly supporting that the five novel mouse candidates are true pre-miRNAs.
A greater proportion of the poly(A) than the Ribo-Zero libraries tended to be aligned (mean difference 11%%, median 8%%).
The aligned mean insert size was 188.76 bp (standard deviation = 44.81 bp) for males and 167.62 bp (standard deviation = 37.29 bp) for females.
Overall, SNAPMAT predicted slightly more functionally important residues in hMC4R than in hMC1R: 35 residues were predicted as important (at D=0) for hMC1R but not for hMC4R (2 gap-aligned; mean SNAPMAT=12); 42 residues were predicted to be important for hMC4R only (3 gap-aligned; Table 1 and Fig. 2; mean SNAPMAT=9).
The device is composed of a positioning stage and a vacuum sample-holder, which can be aligned by means of two alignment screws.
When the fibers are aligned, the cells will be aligned, which means they will conduct and contract the way that native cells do.
The initial state in this iterative routine corresponds to a rough alignment where micrographs are aligned by means of simple cross-correlations.
The DNA-sequences were multiply aligned by means of the ClustalX v1.83 [ 37] and the alignments were manually refined using the GeneDoc v2.7 [ 38].
