| comment | In its data standard terms GGBN does not flag "contains molecular properties" yet. A s a community convention only biological material that contains molecular properties should be shared through the GGBN Data Portal (hence its name...). Outside of GGBN this machine readable information might be important though, e.g. certain types of blood samples don't contain DNA. |
