Trial Use

May change in future releases. See Maturity Model.

Computational Definition

An expression of a sequence that is derived from repeating a subsequence of an associated SequenceLocation.

Information Model

Some ReferenceLengthExpression attributes are inherited from SequenceExpression.

Field	Flags	Type	Limits	Description
id		string	0..1	The ‘logical’ identifier of the Entity in the system of record, e.g. a UUID. This ‘id’ is unique within a given system, but may or may not be globally unique outside the system. It is used within a system to reference an object from another.
type		string	1..1	MUST be “ReferenceLengthExpression”
name		string	0..1	A primary name for the entity.
description		string	0..1	A free-text description of the Entity.
aliases	⋮	string	0..m	Alternative name(s) for the Entity.
extensions	⋮	Extension	0..m	A list of extensions to the Entity, that allow for capture of information not directly supported by elements defined in the model.
length		integer | Range	1..1	The number of residues in the expressed sequence.
sequence		sequenceString	0..1	the literal sequence encoded by the Reference Length Expression.
repeatSubunitLength		integer	1..1	The number of residues in the repeat subunit.
