Accession Number & GI (contd)
Accession Number GenInfo Identifier
Definition
applies to the complete
record
unique identify the
sequence
If sequence
is changed/updated
do not change;
but version number will
increase
a new GI number is
assigned
Exercise 1
For your assigned gene, find
The number of genes found in NCBI cross
database query system search
The number of RefSeq RNAs from the
related information of the gene
The number of RefSeq proteins from the
related information of the gene
