Benchling Nucleotide Alignment API
Represents a multiple sequence alignment of nucleotide sequences (DNA or RNA). Nucleotide alignments are used to compare sequence reads against a reference template for verification (see AlignmentType TEMPLATE) or to align multiple sequences for consensus building (see AlignmentType CONSENSUS). Each alignment contains a referenceSequence (the template or consensus) and a collection of AlignedNucleotideSequence entries representing the individual sequences being compared. Alignments are commonly used in Sanger sequencing verification workflows to confirm that a cloned construct matches the expected design.
