Metadata Module

Types

Type Description

Accession

Identifier assigned to each GenBank sequence record.

DbLink

Cross-references to resources that support the existence of a sequence record, such as the Project Database and the NCBI Trace Assembly Archive.

DivisionCode

Specifies which family a sequence belongs to.

LinkType

Specifies the type of DBLink.

Locus

Short mnemonic name for the entry, chosen to suggest the sequence's definition.

Metadata

Metadata related to the GenBank Flat File.

MoleculeType

Specifies the type of biological sequence.

OrganismInfo

Genus, Species and taxonomic classification levels of the sequence.

Reference

Citations for all articles containing data reported in this sequence. Citations in PubMed that do not fall within Medline's scope will have only a PUBMED identifier. Similarly, citations that *are* in Medline's scope but which have not yet been assigned Medline UIs will have only a PUBMED identifier. If a citation is present in both the PubMed and Medline databases, both a MEDLINE and a PUBMED line will be present.

Segment

Information on the order in which this entry appears in a series of discontinuous sequences from the same molecule.

Source

Common name of the organism or the name most frequently used in the literature along with the taxonomic classification levels.

StrandTopology

Specifies whether the strand is linear or circular.

StrandType

Specifies whether the sequence occurs as a single stranded, double stranded or mixed stranded.

Version

Compound identifier consisting of the primary accession number and a numeric version number associated with the current version of the sequence data in the record. This is followed by an integer key (a "GI") assigned to the sequence by NCBI.
