Item _struct_ref.seq_align


Description

              A flag to indicate the scope of the alignment between the
               sequence of the entity or biological unit described in the data
               block and that in the referenced database entry. 'entire'
               indicates that alignment spans the entire length of both
               sequences (although point differences may occur and can be
               annotated using the data items in the STRUCT_REF_SEQ_DIF
               category). 'partial' indicates a partial alignment. The region
               (or regions) of the alignment may be delimited using data items
               in the STRUCT_REF_SEQ category. This data item may also take
               the value '.', indicating that the reference is not to a
               sequence.
