The phrase "alignment distances" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to measurements or comparisons, particularly in fields like mathematics, engineering, or data analysis.
Example: "The alignment distances between the two components must be measured accurately to ensure proper fit."
Alternatives: "spacing measurements" or "alignment measurements".
A novel video similarity measure is proposed by using visual features, alignment distances and speech transcripts.
The multiple sequence alignment distances are calculated using the PHYLIP PROTDIST utility as described above.
We applied both methods as medium-level methods by taking pairwise distances directly from the alignment distances, not from the reconstructed gene trees.
We also report the validation results by computing the maximum pairwise k-mer distance and the global alignment distances for each OTU, produced by LSH-Div.
The maximum and minimum alignment distances between a read pair are I − l + D and I − l − D, respectively, where l is the read length, assuming the same read length for both members in a pair.
The average A U C R O C in this subclass reached 0.90 in comparison to just 0.58 in the whole class 4. A statistically significant correlation between AUC ROCs and average sequence alignment distances (see Analysis and discussion) suggests that the high specificity subclasses originate from the presence of closer neighbors in the training set.
In practice, DTW first evaluates the local alignment distance between each pair of elements in order to obtain a distance matrix.
The correlation analysis of alignment distance vs. EDE distance shows a clear correlation.
The results produced by ESPRIT using k-mer distance is assessed on Needleman-Wunsch (NW) global alignment distance.
The Sankoff algorithm tries to minimize the sum of alignment distance and free energy of the involved RNA molecules.
In agreement with expectations, the performance of grammar classifiers was negatively correlated with the sequence alignment distance.
