biological sequence [GENO_0000702]

A linear ordering of units representing monomers of a biological macromolecule (e.g. nucleotides in DNA and RNA, amino acids in polypeptides). ‘Sequences’ differ from ‘sequence features’ in that instances are distinguished only by their inherent ordering of units, and not by any positional aspect related to alignment with some reference sequence. Accordingly, the ‘ATG’ translational start codon of the human AKT gene is the same sequence as the ‘ATG’ start codon of the human SHH gene, but these represent two distinct sequence features in virtue of their different positions in the genome.
