The phrase "alignment rather than a" is not complete and lacks context, making it difficult to assess its correctness in written English.
It could be used in a comparative context where one is discussing preferences or choices between alignment and another option.
Example: "We should focus on alignment rather than a strict adherence to outdated policies."
Alternatives: "alignment instead of a" or "alignment as opposed to a".
We set out to provide a quantitative measure of coronal brain section alignment, rather than a qualitative measure as is traditionally used for comparing brain sections.
Here, since a multiple sequence alignment rather than a single sequence exists, the arithmetic mean of each codon position was calculated.
As shown in Section 3.1.1, some structures were assigned a low ConQuass score because of a low-quality alignment rather than a low-quality model.
A folding F of an alignment A is defined similarly to a folding of a single RNA string, except for the fact that now each pair a b in F represents a column-pair in an alignment rather than a base-pair in an RNA string.
Twenty-two percent (45,886) of reciprocal pairs of contigs had multiple alignments rather than a single alignment.
Unsurprisingly the results are all consistently better when using profiles derived from multiple sequence alignments rather than a single sequence.
G-deNoise differs from a "Best match" strategy because its filtering principle is only based on the presence of a predicted SNV within the alignments, rather than a best match that is sensitive to the potential presence of an unpredicted sequence variation.
This method should be less sensitive than targeted alignment, because the version of GSNAP we used requires 14 nt on each side of an exon-exon junction to identify a spliced alignment, rather than the 8 nt we used for targeted alignment.
"Some are buried in a north to south alignment, rather than the traditional east to west alignment that we would expect from a conventional medieval burial site". His team must get permission to move the bones from the UK's Ministry of Justice before it can begin trying to determine how old they are.
This included applying stringent spatial smoothing (with a 12 mm full-width at half-maximum Gaussian; Supplementary Fig. 4) to overcome intersubject variability, and aligning the data using cortex-based surface alignment rather than volume alignment (Supplementary Fig. 5).
While these anchors are in some ways analogous to Murasaki's anchors, the requirement of "unique anchors" puts Mauve in a fundamentally different arena, where its strength lies in alignment rather than anchoring.
