Attribute Details

 Accession Txt
DescriptionAn accession number in bioinformatics is a unique identifier given to a DNA or protein sequence record to allow the tracking of different versions of that sequence record and the associated sequence over time in a single data repository. Because of its relative stability, accession numbers can be used as foreign keys for referring to a sequence object, but not necessarily to a unique sequence. All sequence information repositories implement the concept of "accession number" but can do so with subtle variations.
