The phrase "alignment format" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a specific way of organizing or structuring information to ensure consistency or coherence.
Example: "Please ensure that the document follows the alignment format specified in the guidelines to maintain clarity."
Alternatives: "format for alignment" or "alignment structure".
A common alignment format that supports all sequence types and aligners creates a well-defined interface between alignment and downstream analyses, including variant detection, genotyping and assembly.
Saguaro provides conversion tools for Multiple Alignment Format (MAF), Variant Call Format (VCF), and multi-FASTA format of aligned genomes.
However, for the halftone-based watermarking methods, there is no uniformly accepted alignment format so far.
Moreover, there are no uniformly accepted alignment format for the methods that belong to the second category.
For sequencing data, we combined all available sequencing data summaries in "multiple alignment format" (MAF) files as of May 2009: broad.mit.edu GBM.ABI.1, genome.wustl.edu GBM.ABI.53, hgsc.bcm.edu GBM.ABI.1.maf and GBM.ABI.2.
The final multiple alignments, represented in Multiple Alignment Format (MAF), consisted of 29 eutherian mammals plus three non-eutherian outgroup species (opossum, chicken, and tetraodon), for a total of 32 species.
Tarasov, A., Vilella, A. J., Cuppen, E., Nijman, I. J. & Prins, P. Sambamba: fast processing of NGS alignment formats.
There are many alignment formats available.
Both pairwise and multiple sequence alignments output to standard alignment formats for further processing or visualization.
HMCan accepts the most common alignment formats: SAM/BAM and BED, and outputs predicted regions in BED and WIG formats.
Some of the more common tasks include computing statistics on a list of numbers, creating histogram files from data files (both numeric and string), converting alignment formats.
