Example: "The assignment to a category helps in organizing the data for better analysis."
Alternatives: "classification into a category" or "categorization of an item".
Genes that did not have any COG functional category assignment were assigned to a custom category (category X: no COG assignment).
Even though mangrove area continues to be lost where the majority of these "Least Concern" species are found [27], the global population decline over the past 30 years for each of these species was estimated to be below the threshold required for assignment to a threatened category.
All the analysed species, and thus genera in particular circumscriptions, had non-overlapping genome sizes, and thus in case any doubt should arise in species identification, using genome estimates the assignment to a taxonomic category would be straightforward.
As well, inaccurate ascertainment of gestational age may affect assignment to a PNC utilization category or determination of a preterm or SGA birth.
Assignment to an initial risk category was adjusted, as necessary, based on expert judgment about the quality and quantity of information available.

Similarly, paper notebooks were often chosen instead of laptops because they required no time to boot up".
The assignment to functional categories was performed assigning each gene to a category according to its putative molecular function.
A test for trend was conducted by using assignment to categories as an ordinal scale.
In most cases, a supervised binning of sequences according to an assignment to predefined taxonomic categories is performed.
The significance of the TF gene category associations obtained from the above hypergeometric test depends on the cut-off used to make a binary assignment of the genes to a category and on the cut-off on the predicted affinity, 〈 N〉, used to specify the targets of a given TF.
