The phrase "alignment segment" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to engineering, design, or any field where alignment is a factor, such as in project management or data analysis.
Example: "The alignment segment of the project plan ensures that all team members are on the same page regarding their tasks and responsibilities."
Alternatives: "alignment section" or "alignment portion".
The alignment segment shown (Fig 3A) does not allow a clear assessment of homology of the residues involved.
Our analysis showed minor differences in the target alignment segment, where a consensus sequence of Rx[KR]R is favored.
This method involves 3 steps: first, the nucleotide substitution model parameters and branch lengths are obtained by ML given the alignment segment and the neighbor-joining tree.
The trees generated from each non-recombinant alignment segment were inspected, and the strain with highest observed discord between trees was removed.
Just outside the substrate alignment segment, at the P5, acidic residues are preferred in all groups of putative targets, except for PCSK7.
We required that each alignment segment have at least three exact bp matches directly adjoining the consensus donor and acceptor splice site in order to exclude this potential artifact.
We suspect that in many cases such alignment segments are in fact poly(A) tails that should not have been aligned.
The maximum false positive score, based on ungapped alignment segments from permuted versions of the data set, was 13.6±0.8 (n = 10).
Alignment segments predicted to contain conserved RNA secondary structure were discarded unless they contained at least 20 bases of D. melanogaster sequence and sequence from at least four other species with gaps in no more than 7.5% of predicted base-pairs.
In contrast, the BLAST raw score is directly derived from alignment segments can eliminate this artifact [ 27].
Those with greater CDS coverage than peptide coverage were identified as having additional out-of-frame alignment segments.
