What is the difference between searching the IDNS Reference Sequences (blue) and searching the organization's Sample Sequences (red). When/how do an organization's Accessions become References?
The main work area is the red area, where a new sample is added or the sample database is mined e.g. to identify similar cases. The private reference database is optional (blue) and intended to be used if an institution wishes to build its own private reference database of very well-characterized isolates, unusual isolates, isolates of a particular genus of (research) interest, etc. Usually, customers focus on building the sample database (red area) first and then, consider making use of the private reference database as experience grows.
