Attribute derivation takes a value from an enumerated list of values depending on whether it is empty, is a PCR product, is a synthesized oligo, is an intact plasmid, a colony, or from another derivation. Attribute attachment takes a value from an enumerated list of values depending on the chemistry by which the molecule in the array element attaches or adhers to the array surface. These enumerated lists are expected to be expanded as new technologies are developed. It may represent an actual single sequence or a reference sequence represented by a group of oligo sequences. Since it is such an abstract entity, this element may contain a variety of other elements.
Attribute name allows for a non-unique, local identifier to be applied.
This element is meant to contain the sequence information, or a reference to a database storing that information, of the actual sequence in the array element. This element is meant to contain the reference sequence information, or a reference to a database storing that information, of a sequence which is thought to represent the actual sequence in the array element. This element is meant to contain the reference clone information, or a reference to a database storing that information, of a clone which represents the actual sequence in the array element. This element is meant to contain gene identification information, or a reference to gene identification information present in an external database.
