004 * A DNA reference is a grouping of several DNA entities that are common in
005 * sequence and genomic position.  Members can differ in celular location,
006 * sequence features, SNPs, mutations and bound partners. For more detailed
007 * information on semantics see {@link EntityReference}.
008 *
009 * Comments : Note that this is not a reference gene. A gene can possibly span
010 * multiple DNA molecules, sometimes even across chromosomes due to regulatory
011 * regions. Similarly a gene is not necessarily made up of deoxyribonucleic acid
012 * and can be present in multiple copies ( which are different DNA molecules).
