AC

Class AC - Data structure for storing ACs (Accession numbers) of DB

Calling Sequence  AC(id)
Parameters
NameTypeDescription

id {list,string,structure}ID(s) of Entries in the database DB

 PatEntry, Match or Entry data structure
Return Type  AC
Methods Entry, Sequence
Synopsis AC is a data structure which holds accession numbers (ACs) contained in the and tags in a Darwin formatted database. ACs can be used as arguments to other functions, e.g. Entry, Sequence, to indicate that the Entry or sequence desired is the one with the given AC. AC will attempt to convert its arguments when they are other entry descriptions to ACs. An AC can be given with or without the trailing ';'. The database contains the semicolon, so if the AC does not have it, one is added.
