AccessionID (biojava-core 6.0.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.biojava.nbio.core.sequence.AccessionID

```
public class AccessionID
extends Object
```
Used in Sequences as the unique indentifier. If possible, set the DataSource to know the source of the id. This allows a SequenceProxy to gather features or related sequences Protein->Gene as an example. When parsing a Blast file it is also possible to identify the type of ID
