Population or Phylogenetic Sets

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.

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.
