The phrase "an alternative pattern" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing different methods, designs, or approaches that can be used instead of a standard or traditional one.
Example: "In our research, we discovered an alternative pattern that could lead to more efficient results."
Alternatives: "a different approach" or "a substitute model".
Both SSRs and gene sequences were evenly distributed, and exhibited an alternative pattern throughout the genome.
While this is a complex process, I hope that through this engagement an alternative pattern will be found which satisfies all the demands on it, from a programming, web standards, usability and accessibility perspective.
An additional Sharklet micropattern (+3SK2×2), in which the features protrude from the surface, was qualitatively assessed for performance as an alternative pattern for a CVC application that may be investigated further in future testing.
More recently, Belsky [33], [34] and colleagues [35] [38] have proposed an alternative pattern of GXE, that of Differential Susceptibility.
Recently, evidence has accumulated to support the notion that breast cancer subtypes are distributed in an alternative pattern corresponding to race or ethnicity.
Satellites displayed an alternative pattern and were more abundant in the sex-determining chromosomes 1 of Ae. aegypti and X chromosome of An. gambiae.
As an alternative patterning method, the direct micropattern fabrication by photopolymerization presented here is advantageous as it requires one principle reaction step, few reagents, and simple and inexpensive equipment.
In the final version (Additional file 17), the total is 71.4 PgC y-1 and sub-totals depart widely from the Miami model projections (Figure 3) implying an alternative global pattern of productivity (Figure 4).
However, we do not observe a similar deficit for the alternative pattern in which A and B homoeoloci are expressed at the same level ('D > A = B') compared with either 'B > A = D' or 'A > B = D'.
For many genes subject to AS, it may be that most transcripts produced at a locus are spliced according to one, dominant pattern, with only a small number of molecules undergoing an alternative splicing pattern.
Now You and Wu have come up with an alternative crease pattern, which adds a number of extra creases to the traditional pattern used in conventional paper grocery bags.
