The phrase "alterations to identify" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where changes or modifications are made for the purpose of recognition or distinction.
Example: "The alterations to identify the new features in the software were implemented successfully."
Alternatives: "modifications for identification" or "changes to recognize".
Therefore, we explored the JMJD3 overexpression- and JMJD3 knockout-caused mRNA expressional alterations to identify the responsible target genes (Supplementary Data 2–3).
Next, we evaluated the morphological alterations to identify metacyclic forms in cultures.
Furthermore, other authors used network-based approaches involving genes that were placed in areas of copy number alterations to identify candidate oncogenic, modular processes and driver genes [ 12].
Improvements in clinical outcome require a better understanding of the genetic alterations to identify clinically significant biological factors and to stratify patients accordingly.
Sequential testing of infrequent genomic alterations to identify candidates for clinical trials with matched targeted agents is inefficient, expensive, and wasteful of scarce archived tumor tissue resources [ 15].
Therefore appropriate statistical approaches must be utilized to examine these alterations and to identify those alterations with the greatest clinical utility.
To assist in these efforts, we have developed genomics methods to classify tumors based on patterns of functional oncogenic alterations and to identify cell lines that most closely resemble tumors (Ciriello et al., 2013; Domcke, Sinha, et al., 2013).
In this perspective, the advances in molecular biotechnologies, as recently demonstrated by Perou et al (2000), could supply information on alterations able to identify the genetic evolutionary pathways and explain the phenotypic differences observed in clinical tumours.
In the present study, our aim was to screen for those genes that are differentially expressed in association with copy number alteration and to identify potential molecular markers with a biological role in gastric carcinogenesis.
Finally, we used in silico data mining of publicly available transcriptomics data, to evaluate the transcriptional consequences of the detected 12q24.31 alteration and to identify subsequently activated gene(s).
Accordingly, the presence of sublingual microvascular alterations may help to identify patients eligible for fluid therapy [8].
