It has the same properties as an analyses, but lacks the `analysis_type` field and also includes a `tax_id` field indicating the taxonmic ID of the genome against which the alignment was performed. At this time, there are no v1 API routes for accessing the alignment statistics (e.g., percent identity, coverage, and depth), but alignments can be viewed on the One Codex platform directly. Here's [an example public alignment](https://app.onecodex.com/alignment/public/1aefe494c50d4260) and a list of [all alignments for that sample](https://app.onecodex.com/analysis/6d5247665454405a/alignments):
