The phrase "alignment to assess" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing the process of aligning certain elements or criteria in order to evaluate or measure something.
Example: "We need to ensure proper alignment to assess the effectiveness of our new strategy."
Alternatives: "alignment for evaluation" or "alignment for assessment".
Many recent studies have used mechanical limb alignment to assess radiographic outcomes after TKA.
All protein sequences of the Nme family were added to a single multiple alignment to assess their phylogenetic relationships.
Multiple protein sequence alignment to assess evolutionary conservation of residues was performed using UCSC Genome Browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu).ucsc.edu
In all cases, biocurators validate each alignment to assess whether similarity is appropriate to infer the gene product's function.
The global test for recombination or gene conversion events was used with 10,000 permutations of the sequence alignment to assess the significance.
Thus, a number of large, multicenter studies with long-term follow-up periods have used anatomic limb alignment to assess radiographic outcomes [ 8– 10].
We also computed maximum-likelihood trees on the alignments to assess the difference in reconstruction accuracy between simple distance-based and character-based approaches.
In this analysis, we used the Equidae alignments to assess heterogeneity in ω across the two MHC genes (DRA and DQA) and to identify codons under positive selection.
Unlike methods that depend on pre-calculated whole-genome alignments to assess intra- or intergenic regions across species [ 13], our software can be applied to any valid sequence, in parallel to revision of existing sequence records and newly deposited proteins.
We selected only COSII loci that were identified in two or more of our species, and aligned those sequences in MEGA5 using the MUSCLE alignment tool to assess the proportion of variable sites (Edgar, 2004; Tamura et al., 2011).
The alignments of annotated genes and shotgun reads were used, in cases of large alignment depth, to assess the borders of a repeat unit.
