Accession number (RefSeq) search for term

The accession number is the unique identification number for a complete RefSeq sequence record. RefSeq accession numbers are written in the following format: two letters followed by an underscore and six digits (e.g.\, NT_123456). The first two letters of the RefSeq accession number indicate the type of sequence included in the record as described below: NT_123456 constructed genomic contigs NM_123456 mRNAs (actually the cDNA sequences constructed from mRNA) NP_123456 proteins NC_123456 chromosomes.
