Gapped sequence

A gapped sequence includes both known, directly sequenced data and unknown data. The unknown sections of sequence are represented by strings of 'nnn' between the known, directly sequenced, contiguous data. All pieces of a gapped sequence must be from the same source and be in the same orientation and in the correct order.

Relevant feature information for a gapped sequence:

• if a gap length is estimated, insert the equivalent number of nnns between the directly determined, contiguous sections of sequence
• if the gap length is unknown, insert a string of 100 nnns to represent the gap between the sections of sequence
• add a misc_feature for each gap with a /note qualifier to describe it as either 'gap of unknown length' or 'gap of estimated length, # nts'
• add all other appropriate features (exons, introns, CDS, gene, etc)

We strongly suggest that you provide as much of the above information as possible to ensure the most complete annotation of your sequence. If any of this information is not known, please inform us.

Phylogenetic or population set

Relevant feature information for population or phylogenetic studies:

A set comprises a group of sequences that represent the same gene or locus in different organisms or in different isolates, strains, or clones of the same organism. A set can be, for example, phylogenetic (different organisms), population (same organism), or environmental (unclassified or unknown organisms).

• unique descriptive information for each sequence (eg, clone, strain, isolate, or organism names)
• creating a set will allow the sequences to be retreivable by Entrez PopSet as a group.
