The phrase "alignment depth" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to positioning, organization, or measurement, often in technical or analytical discussions.
Example: "The alignment depth of the components must be checked to ensure optimal performance in the assembly."
Alternatives: "alignment level" or "alignment measurement".
To determine if the uncategorized sequence was single-copy or repetitive, WGS reads were aligned to the BACs and the alignment depth at each position was observed.
Taking into account an 89% efficacy, the average alignment depth for 50 mitochondrial chromosomes each of 16 kbp length, will be 27.8×.
The multiple alignments were analyzed for alignment depth.
The table lists the 78 annotated genes with an average alignment depth of 100 or higher.
The sequences with alignment depth of coverage more than 1 were excluded in downstream analysis.
Of the alignments created, 4 171 (18%) showed an average alignment depth of 100 or more.
In many cases, bases in a reference are covered with alignment depths varying by orders of magnitude and therefore present a challenge for visualization.
Read mapping resulted in median alignment depths of 20, 20, and 23 for A. merus, A. arabiensis, and A. quadriannulatus, respectively.
The resulting alignment depths, which are greater than those typically seen in 5' projects, together with our deliberate use of outbred individuals for building the cDNA libraries (Table 1), enabled us to identify SNPs in many of our UniGenes.
As the 50S results suggested that alignment depths greater than the average of the lengths of the two proteins were required for accurate prediction, we focused on paired alignments with at least this number of sequences 1126 gene pairs in total excluding the ribosomal proteins.
By targeting cDNA from a large number of outbred butterflies (ensuring representation of different alleles) and sequencing ESTs from the 3' end (maximizing alignment depths), our project combined gene discovery with identification of putative markers (including SNPs and microsatellites) in expressed genes.
