The phrase "alignment identified a" is not correct and appears to be incomplete in written English.
It may be used in contexts where you are discussing a specific alignment that has been identified, but it requires additional information to be clear.
Example: "The alignment identified a significant gap in the data that needed to be addressed."
Alternatives: "alignment revealed a" or "alignment discovered a".
There are 4900 simple insertions (1196 in highly divergent regions) where a bwa alignment identified a read that aligns within the simple insertion.
A previously reported sequence alignment identified a N-terminal extension on the BMC-encapsulated EutC from Escherichia coli K-12.
A structural-based sequence alignment identified a single serine residue at 262 in HwHR, which is typically a conserved alanine in all other known HRs.
DNA sequence alignment identified a single nonsynonymous base substitution difference between FRR2161/FRR3841 and FRR3840/FRR4059 over the 206 bp of ORF1.
Remarkably, bwa alignment identified a significant proportion of Fusobacteria which were not found in the Kraken alignment or in the controls.
The alignment identified a common 19-bp DNA motif with the palindromic consensus sequence 5'-TTAGGTTAG(G/C)CthatCTAA-3' that is identical to DtxR binding sites identified earlier in C. diphtheriae [ 14].
The first position of this alignment identifies a base pair where transcription is initiated defining a TSS.
Pairwise alignment identifies a corresponding sequence in the crystal structure 2BL4 of FucO, a member from Escherichia coli of this group of "iron-activated" hydrogenases.
Structural and primary sequence alignment identifies a group of SDR proteins involved in polysaccharide synthesis that share the two salient features of CapE: the mobile loop (latch) and a distinctive catalytic site (MxxxK).
Further inspection of the Pfmc-2TM/ hyp8/ hyp2 gene cluster using multiple protein sequence alignments identified a hitherto unknown ~70 aa long conserved domain located between the PEXEL motif and the two TM domains.
The results are difficult to interpret, especially when the retrieved hits share low sequence identity with the starting query or when restricted local alignments identify a single domain in multi-domain protein hits or, finally, when the updating state of protein hits is incomplete and even contradictory making functional transfer difficult [3].
