'for closing gap' is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is commonly used when one wants to refer to addressing a difference between two entities, whether that is a literal gap or more figurative gap, such as the gap between two different outcomes. For example, "We are developing strategies for closing the gap between what we hoped to achieve and what we actually achieved."
The primers for closing gaps were designed from unique end-sequences from each assembly after first analyzing for Carnivora repetitive elements by RepeatMasker (http://www.repeatmasker.org).org
Projector2 is a web service application for closing gaps in prokaryotic genome assemblies.
Oligonucleotides used for closing gaps by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are included in supplementary table S1, Supplementary Material online.
New approaches for closing gaps in social determinants of health are required if progress on achieving equity is to improve.
New genomic libraries were constructed using various plasmid vectors for closing gaps and capturing the telomeric sequences [ 23, 43].
Autofinish [ 54] was used for closing gaps by designing gap-closing primers with subsequent direct sequencing on BAC DNA or PCR amplification and PCR product sequencing.
These gaps are good targets for IMAGE, the software responsible for closing gaps in the PAGIT toolkit, which removes end-sequence from contigs while attempting to extend them with re-sequencing data and to overlap adjacent contigs.
The typical workflow for closing gaps in the rubber metabolic network involved downloading protein sequences that could perform the missing enzymatic activity either from Arabidopsis or other plant or bacterial genome and then using it as query for TBLASTN.
The results of the two assemblies were aligned to each other with the program cross match (package Phred/Phrap/Consed), as they may be complementary, which is effective for closing gaps.
Note that another similar approach that could prove valuable for closing gaps in future projects is to identify genes fragmented into two or more contigs to identify contigs that are likely to be adjacent [ 25].
