CodeSystem: Gene Reference Sequence Collection

Official URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq Version: 2.0.1
Retired as of 2021-11-09 Responsible: NCBI Computable Name: RefSeq

The Reference Sequence (RefSeq) is one of the NCBI projects, the RefSeq collection aims to provide a comprehensive, integrated, non-redundant, well-annotated set of sequences, including genomic DNA, transcripts, and proteins. ReqSeq is accessible via BLAST, Entrez, and the NCBI FTP site. Information is also available in Entrez Genomes and Entrez Gene, and for some genomes additional information is available in the Map Viewer.

RefSeq entries can be used with the HL7 coded data type. For example, in the HL7 messages specified according to the HL7 V2 Clinical Genomics Fully LOINC-Qualified Genetic Variation Model, RefSeq entries can be used to as the observation values for genomic reference sequence identifiers (LOINC #: 48013-7).
