biological sequence
one-dimensional ordering of monomers, covalently linked within a biopolymer
sequence motif
nucleotide or amino-acid sequence pattern that is widespread and has, or is conjectured to have, a biological significance. For proteins, a sequence motif is distinguished from a structural motif
regulatory sequence
type of nucleic acid that affects the expression of associated genes
coding region
portion of a gene's DNA or RNA, composed of exons, that codes for protein; composed of codons, which are decoded, translated into proteins by the ribosome; begins with the start codon and end with a stop codon
conserved sequence
similar DNA, RNA or protein sequences within genomes or among species
amino acid sequence
any continuous part of a peptide/protein
consensus sequence
most common variant of a genetic sequence across samples
