Hi,
I would like to ask for the intended meaning for SeqRecord "id", "name"
and "description" arguments.
In the "id" we put accession numbers (Entrez GI numbers, swiss-prot
accession numbers etc)
In the "description" - any description, could be a name or more information
And what about the "name" ?
When I am reading fasta sequences with SeqIO where I should put the
sequence name which I understand as everything which comes after ">" to
the end of the line?
