Sequence Expression
Sequence Expressions are used to express a sequence, typically in the representation of Variation state.
Unlike Sequence Reference, a sequence expression represents the content of a sequence, instead of representing a sequence by reference.
Note
This data class is at a trial use maturity level and may change in future releases. Maturity levels are described in the GKS Maturity Model.
