The phrase "altering the sequence" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing changes made to the order of elements in a list, process, or arrangement.
Example: "The researchers focused on altering the sequence of the DNA to observe the effects on gene expression."
Alternatives: "modifying the order" or "changing the arrangement."
The efficiency of the MABS technique was demonstrated by altering the sequence specificity of the bifunctional RE Eco57I from 5′-CTGAAG to 5′-CTGRAG, and thus generating the mutant restriction endonuclease (and DNA methyltransferase) of a specificity not known before.
This is demonstrated for z-order curve in Fig. 3, where the four bottom-left elements are shifted twice in the x-axis and once in the y-axis, altering the sequence in which they are scanned by the curve.
This chapter describes posttranscriptional modifications of the RNA in the EC, utilized to introduce changes in the RNA without altering the sequence of the DNA template and to address the effects of transcript composition on EC stability and catalytic activity.
Structure activity relations (SARs) were designed to help explain the significant difference in activity observed among the catalysts containing monometallic (Ni) and bimetallic species (Ni Co) and among the bimetallic catalysts impregnated by altering the sequence of impregnation.
The tuning of the computational units (i.e., ribozyme and the receptor sites) is achieved by altering the sequence of bases in certain regions of the nucleic acids guided by energetic information that can be calculated from the sequence to structure mapping of the molecules.
Although the majority of hER-E/F protein was produced in insoluble form under standard bacterial culture conditions, hER-E/F could be produced in soluble, biologically active form by altering the sequence of the expressed protein and by varying the host culture conditions.
The sequences important for target site recognition, as determined for Eh EN [ 18], were tested for Ed EN by altering the sequences immediately surrounding the nicked site #3.
As their experience increased, they rarely altered the sequence of flowers they visited.
During RNA editing, cells amend the nucleotide sequence of the RNA, which can alter the sequence of amino acids in the resulting protein and change the protein's function.
Channel 4 said it stood by its investigation, adding: "The footage as broadcast for the first time on December 18 2012 was not edited by the production team to change or alter the sequence of events.
Developmental insults can alter the sequence of motor development [55].
