The phrase "alignment steps" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing the process of aligning goals, strategies, or actions in a project or organization.
Example: "Before we proceed, let's outline the alignment steps necessary to ensure everyone is on the same page."
Alternatives: "alignment procedures" or "alignment actions".
The alignment steps in this workflow utilize the SHRiMP2 [ 38] aligner to map the FASTQ sequences to miRBase precursors.
During the next steps the LV CMOS process is modified continuously using additional masks and alignment steps.
The ETA descriptors have been developed by the present authors' group and these can be easily calculated from 2D representation of chemical structure without requirement of conformational analysis and alignment steps.
Alignment steps are done by first translating the fragment so that the centroid of the bond, N, is superimposed on top of the centroid of the subject bond.
We did not test two-stage pipelines involving separate synteny mapping and alignment steps, such as MERCATOR+MAVID [49] or Chain-net+TBA [50] but this would be an interesting area for future work.
In particular, GenomeKey's alignment steps (consistent with most whole genome analysis workflow alignment steps) demonstrate a sub-linear scaling for both genomes (Fig. 2a) and exomes (Fig. 2c).
In the case of SerRS and ThrRS, the respective protein family alignments were subsequently aligned in an additional profile alignment step.
Read alignment step, where each HTS read is aligned to the library of gene variants from the CYP2D locus determined in the library preparation step.
Briefly, we first convert the aligned reads into MRF and thus decouple the alignment step from the downstream analyses.
Initially, we allowed one mismatch to the reference genome during the alignment step, which is the minimum number required to align a read from the alternative allele.
This system not only minimizes the exposure of the UHV chamber to the ALD reactants, but it also eliminates the necessity of a beam alignment step after installation.
