The phrase "alignment is sensitive" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to indicate that alignment can be affected by various factors or conditions, often in technical or analytical discussions.
Example: "In this experiment, we found that alignment is sensitive to temperature changes, which can affect the results significantly."
Alternatives: "alignment is delicate" or "alignment is critical".
The algorithm of multiple sequence alignment is sensitive to the flexible multiword.
Both the mean absolute pointing error and the intra-observation drift are correlated with thermal conditions on the spacecraft as the aspect camera optical axis alignment (relative to the HRMA alignment) is sensitive to the ACA housing temperature.
Thus stretch-induced alignment is sensitive to stretch frequency over a range of two orders of magnitude, with the actual values of the threshold and saturation frequencies dependent on the value of τ.
It is apparent that the final multiple gene order alignment is sensitive to the order of alignment steps.
This tool combines BLAST with a global alignment algorithm to ensure a full primer-target alignment and is sensitive enough to detect targets that have a significant number of mismatches to primers.
Differences between the simulation and measurement results were due to inaccuracy of sensor alignment because crosstalk is sensitive to the sensor geometry.
To each orthologous gene cluster, the branch site test for positive selection in CODEML (test 2, [ 46]) was applied, using the evolutionary model that allows for a varying ω within the alignment and thus is sensitive towards positive selection limited to a very small number of sites.
As a consequence, the Viterbi alignment is rather sensitive to the presence of noise in the input data, i.e. it may be easily misguided.
Without such a consideration, the alignment is more sensitive to user-supplied parameters such as match and mismatch scores, and gap opening and extension penalties.
Although, it is more time-consuming, local alignment is more sensitive to finding smaller query sequences in the target sequences.
Although spliced alignment is less sensitive than targeted alignment, it does have the ability to find novel splicing at locations not included in a database of known splice sites.
