biological sequence set

ID: GENO_0000922

A set of biological sequences.

'Sets' are used to represent entities that are typically collections of more than one member. But we allow for sets that contain 0 members (an 'empty' set) or 1 member (a 'singleton' or 'unit' set), consistent with the concept of 'mathematical sets'. A set may also include multiple copies of the same sequence. For example, in a 'copy number complement', members are all copies of this same biological sequence.
