In some of the mims, we have added a text element A1, which can be subsequently linked or keyed to annotation information. These text keys are placed close to the features that annotate. More directly associating evidence to the map elements appears frequently throughout the use cases. == Comments == b12-arbiter-b - 2006-11-20 20:16:15 Species could include other molecules, such as DNA, RNA, lipids, etc. -- K.
