The phrase "alignment of a small" is not complete and lacks context, making it difficult to determine its correctness in written English.
It could be used in contexts discussing the alignment of small objects, groups, or concepts, but it needs additional information to clarify its meaning.
Example: "The alignment of a small group of stars was observed by the astronomers."
Alternatives: "arrangement of a small" or "positioning of a small".
This could affect alignment slightly, in the case of non-annotation guided alignment, for a small number of ambiguously aligning reads.
This realignment procedure changed the alignments of a small fraction of reads.
This model is well suited for alignments of a small number of sequences over large distances and is included in Topali v2 package (Milne et al. 2009).
To date, most fungal phylogenies have been derived from single gene comparisons, or from concatenated alignments of a small number of genes.
Coding was verified using GapCoder [ 17] and by visual inspection of alignments for a small subset of data.
The Reciprocal Smallest Distance (RSD) algorithm [14] generates global sequence alignments for a small number of top BLAST hits against a query gene X from species x.
Patient-specific templating TKA showed improved accuracy of alignment and a small reduction in blood loss and operating time compared to intramedullary-aligned TKA, but the fraction of outliers was relatively high.
Each Pfam-A family consists of a curated 'seed alignment' containing a small set of representative members of the family, profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMs) built from the seed alignment, and an automatically generated full alignment, which contains all detectable protein sequences belonging to the family, as defined by profile HMM searches of primary sequence databases.
Route 287 continues along the rural alignment, entering a small community of residential homes and fields.
As these events have weak alignment signatures (a small fraction of reads from that locus predicts the insertion), they can be more difficult to identify and to distinguish from background noise.
