(a) an assigned accession number(s)

(b) source organism

(c) name of locus

(d) reference number type(s)

The question was asked in an interview for job.

I would like to ask this question from Multiple Sequence Formats & Storage of Information in a Sequence Database in section Collecting & Storing Sequences in Laboratory of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) reference number type(s)

Easiest explanation: In addition to these keywords that apply to sequence, features in the sequence such as coding regions, intron splice sites, and mutations; and finally the sequence itself is given the sequence database entry. The above information is organized into a tabular form very much like that found in a relational database.
