The phrase "alternate usage" is correct and commonly used in written English.
It refers to the different ways in which a word or phrase can be used or interpreted. Here is an example of its usage: "The word 'run' has multiple alternate usages, such as describing a physical activity or a political campaign."
An alternate usage broadens the term to include indigenous or "native" species along with non-native species, that have colonized natural areas (p. 136).
Other misconceptions reinforced by cultural depictions came from a scientific consensus that has now been overturned, such as the alternate usage of dinosaur to describe something that is maladapted or obsolete, or dinosaurs as slow and unintelligent.
There are two ERs (ERα and ERβ) encoded by distinct genes on different chromosomes and two known isoforms of PR (PRA and PRB) transcribed from the alternate usage of different promoters from the same gene [ 7].
In both cases, the set of exons undergoing various types of retention, excluding alternative 5′ site usage, are indicated by a black box and can be seen to be covered by the expansion of H3K4me3 signal in the cell type with alternate usage.
Certain that I would have to execute copious amounts of research on the internet to see how to correctly use a bidet and quite certain I wouldn't have the moxie to even if I knew, I considered (as we would say in marketing) "alternate usages".
Some of the alternate usages of the term are below: The term as most often used applies to introduced species (also called "non-indigenous" or "non-native") that adversely affect the habitats and bioregions they invade economically, environmentally, and/or ecologically.
Fuchs & Celepirovic [ 7] have investigated the rat α2 subunit gene, and identified six α2 subunit mRNA isoforms with distinct 5-end UTRs (the resulting protein sequence is not affected), generated from three alternative first exons by means of alternative splicing and alternate promoter usage.
Furthermore, they provide a record of transcript diversity due to modifications of the primary pre-mRNA transcript, such as alternate promoter usage, alternative splicing, alternate polyadenylation, and RNA editing.
Importantly, AChE is not one but several variants, induced by alternate promoter usage and alternative splicing [13].
Alternative promoters, including those associated with alternate 5'exon usage, can be activated in a tissue-specific manner.
In man, the HNF1A, HNF1B and HNF4A genes produce three, three and nine isoforms respectively by a combination of alternate promoter usage, alternate splicing and differential use of polyadenylation sites; figures 1a 1c [16] [18].
