The phrase "alignment length" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to measurements, particularly in fields like biology, computer science, or engineering, where the length of an alignment (such as in sequences or structures) is relevant.
Example: "The alignment length of the DNA sequences was measured to determine the degree of similarity between the samples."
Alternatives: "alignment size" or "alignment span".

Fraction of read aligned is defined as (alignment length + insertions - deletions)/ alignment length + unaligned length - deletions + insertions).
In this example, 9 residues are correctly aligned over a total alignment length of 10 residues.
The alignment length coverage is calculated as the proportion of aligned length in the whole read.
A close homolog was defined as having >80% identity and an alignment length >85% of the query length.
A hit was defined as having at least 50% sequence identity and an alignment length >80% of the query length.
For instance, the macroscopic size of the alignment length allows the light diffraction (results not shown).
The average alignment length was 552.8 nt.
The rapidly evolving ITS rDNA region spanning across ITS1 rDNA and ITS2 rDNA sequences differed by 34% (375 pairwise alignment length) and 37% (314 pairwise alignment length), respectively.
The minimum partial alignment length is proportionally determined to the length of the target sequence.
This search identified 708 hits (Ealignment length >50 bp).
Minimum alignment length coverage (-L parameter) varied between 0.1 and 0.9 with step size 0.1.
