The phrase "as a reference sequence" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are referring to a specific sequence that serves as a standard or basis for comparison in scientific or technical discussions.
Example: "The genetic data was analyzed using the human genome as a reference sequence to identify variations."
Alternatives: "as a standard sequence" or "as a benchmark sequence".
To refer to specific sites, we chose the first BRD of BRD4 as a reference sequence for numbering of residues.
One is used as a reference sequence, and the other is shifted relative to the reference.
Biologists are just as happy with an anonymous genome as with a celebrity's, because with one genome in hand to serve as a reference sequence, it should be quite easy to catalog all the common variants found in most human populations.
To develop an EvoPrint, researchers define the sequence from one species as a reference sequence.
a Sequence variations observed within the AA-genome species using Kasalath as a reference sequence.
Meanwhile the nucleotide sequence in DQ167400.1 should be used as a reference sequence for mitochondrial genes of Nipponbare.
Genomic sequence of a rice cultivar Nipponbare has been often used as a reference sequence since a whole-genomic sequence was first determined in 2005 by the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project.
In these cases, the most frequently observed isomiR was chosen as a reference sequence.
By convention one particular sequence, known as the revised Cambridge Reference Sequence (rCRS), or the Anderson sequence, serves as a reference sequence [1], [2].
To demonstrate that a transcriptome assembled de novo can serve as a reference sequence for short-read mapping, we used the short read alignment program BWA to map three paired-end lanes of Illumina sequence to the final contig set.
The archetype WSSV isolate TH-96-II, which has a 6,436 bp insertion compared to WSSV-TW [8], was used as a reference sequence for determining the size of the deletion.
