Benchling Dna Sequence API

Represents a DNA sequence in Benchling's molecular biology platform. A `DnaSequence` stores the nucleotide bases of the forward strand along with rich annotations for biological features such as genes, promoters, and regulatory elements. Sequences can be linear or circular (controlled by `isCircular`) and support translation annotations for protein-coding regions (see `Translation`), primer binding sites (see `Primer`), and part features linking to other sequences (see `DnaPart`). DNA sequences can be registered in the Registry with a unique `entityRegistryId`, organized in folders, and linked to other entities via schema fields. Also known as "Sequence" in the Benchling interface, with IDs prefixed by 'seq'.
