Benchling Feature Library Item API is one of 203 APIs that [Benchling](https://apis.io/providers/benchling/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include FeatureLibraryItem. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, authentication docs, rate-limit docs, and a changelog.

Represents a single feature definition within a FeatureLibrary used for auto-annotation. Each item defines a searchable pattern (nucleotide or amino acid sequence), a feature type classification (such as 'gene', 'promoter', or 'domain'), a display name, and a color for visualization. When auto-annotate runs against a sequence, the pattern is matched according to the matchType (see FeatureLibraryMatchType), and matching regions are annotated with the item's name, type, and color. Patterns can include special characters for flexible matching, such as wildcards for arbitrary bases or optional flanking regions.
