The phrase "alignment to characterize" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing the process of aligning certain elements or factors in order to define or describe something.
Example: "The researchers focused on the alignment to characterize the relationship between the variables in their study."
Alternatives: "alignment to define" or "alignment to describe".
Furthermore, we performed genome sequence alignments to characterize genome rearrangements that were reportedly characteristic of P. gingivalis (Naito et al. 2008).
In order to quantify the effect of CNF on HEK 293T alignment and to characterize the degree of structural anisotropy, FFT analysis was applied and presented in Figure 7.
Additionally, we apply our clustered alignment approach to characterize the effects of a conditional Mop3 knockout in mouse liver.
We describe the use of EvoPrinter and cis-Decoder, a suite of interrelated phylogenetic footprinting and alignment programs, to characterize highly conserved sequences that are shared among co-regulating enhancers.
Moving average over a 3 amino-acid window of the percentage consensus in a 99 homologous protein alignment was used to characterize conservation in SS1G_01593 family.
The experimental results support therefore the hypothesis that, at least in the LCK case, the domain alignment is sufficient to characterize the peptides binding model and to achieve therefore a higher overall sensitivity.
By sequence alignment to structurally characterized domains, the sequence boundaries of the KR and DH were determined.
Only a small proportion of the TEs described in the flax genome could be identified through alignment to previously characterized elements from other species [ 40].
The normalized pole density Whklt near the normal of the surface perpendicular to the whisker alignment direction was used to characterize the degree of the grain alignment.
The main objectives of the "Oryza Map Alignment Project" (OMAP) are to characterize the rice genome from a comparative standpoint by establishing a genus-wide and genome-scale comparative framework from representative species.
