The phrase "alignment of mitochondrial" is not complete as it lacks a noun to follow "mitochondrial," but it is usable in written English if completed properly.
You can use it in contexts discussing the arrangement or coordination of mitochondrial structures or functions within a biological or scientific framework.
Example: "The alignment of mitochondrial DNA sequences is crucial for understanding evolutionary relationships among species."
Alternatives: "arrangement of mitochondria" or "coordination of mitochondrial functions."
Based on the sequencing and alignment of mitochondrial 16S rDNA and COI gene of 10 common Liposcelis species, two pairs of species-specific primers were designed according to the variation regions among species.
The alignment of mitochondrial gene sequences newly obtained in the present study and the concatenated alignments of the fourfold degenerate sites of nuclear genes have been deposited in TreeBase (http://purl.org/phylo/treebase/phylows/study/TB2 S13990 ).
Other resources, such as frequency information (http://www.mtdb.igp.uu.se/), secondary structures, sequences, and alignment of mitochondrial tRNAs (http://mamit-trna.u-strasbg.fr/), mitochondrial haplogroups (http://www.phylotree.org/ and other information (http://www.mtdnacommunity.org/default.aspx), may prove useful in interpreting mitochondrial variants.
We created a concatenated alignment from the Gblocks masked alignments of mitochondrial genes ("MA") and a concatenated alignment of mitochondrial genes from fourfold degenerate sites ("M4") identified by codeml from PAML version 4.5 [ 86].
We note, again, that with our alignment of mitochondrial proteins, we exclude sites between a gap and a site that is constant across the dataset, and if we applied this conservative alignment criterion, we would have to exclude all FGB-int7 sites.
Secondarily, they are also supported by several other studies from different insect species based on alignment of mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequences [ 49, 50] and 18S rDNA sequences [ 51], which show that Bactrocera is more closely related to Ceratitis, and closer to Anastrepha than it is to Rhagoletis.
Fig. 4 summarizes the data for alignments of mitochondrial protein-coding genes.
Sequence alignments of mitochondrial protein-coding genes have been deposited in TreeBASE at URL: http://purl.org/phylo/treebase/phylows/study/TB2 S14923.
These analyses were also performed on individual alignments of mitochondrial and nuclear loci (cyt b and concatenated S7 introns).
We also used relaxed molecular clock analyses, based on alignments of mitochondrial proteins, to estimate the time of divergence between these two species.
Our alignment of the mitochondrial genome sequence from 19 species of Lepidoptera (Fig. 1; alignment not shown) indicated that this putative TTAG initiation was conserved among 15 of 27 (55.6%) coxI genes from full lepidopteran mitochondrial genomes (Fig. 1).
