The phrase "alignment probes" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to technology, science, or engineering, particularly when discussing devices or methods used to ensure proper alignment in systems or processes.
Example: "The engineers installed alignment probes to ensure that the machinery operated within the specified tolerances."
Alternatives: "calibration sensors" or "alignment sensors".
Filtering data by quality control criteria short-listed 19,431 genes as our complete data set for Lowess normalization and subsequent analyses, out of a total of 44,233 probes (including control and alignment probes) present on the microarrays.
Standard NimbleGen probes were also placed on the array, including alignment probes, chip identification probes, and random cDNA probes designed to match the content of our user designed probes.
This data provides a catalogue of coding variation, which can be used for improving the genomic sequence, as well as for better sequence alignment, probe design, and proteomic analysis.
A measuring instrument, which consists of an atomic force microscope (AFM) and an optical alignment probe, is designed and constructed for precision and fast measurement of 3D cutting edge profiles of single point diamond micro-tools.
A time alignment probe (a radioactive source embedded in a plastic scintillator coupled with a PMT) has been proposed for this purpose [70], but this requires a modification of the existing systems and has therefore not been implemented on commercial systems.
Probe, transcript, alignment, probe set and array data were stored in a MySQL 5.0 database.
In those cases predicted sequences were used for alignment, probe generation and sequencing.
Future models may incorporate factors, such as the type of probe-transcript alignment, probe sequence (Wu et al., 2005) or transcript secondary structure.
MS participated in the design of the study, performed sequence alignments, probe development, and revised the manuscript critically.
After careful verification of the resulting alignments, probe sets sharing sequence similarity with known proteins from other species were annotated as "similar to".
The alignment of probes to Ensembl transcripts gave 95,008 transcript-specific and 180,403 gene-specific probes out of a total of 247,965 probes (Table 1, supporting tables S1 and S2, and dataset S1).
