Existing Wording: 10.4.1 - The Sequence resource is designed to describe an atomic sequence which contains more than one bases but has at most one variation.

10.4.1.1 - This resource is designed to describe a sequence variation with clinical significance with information

Proposed Wording: 10.4.1 - The Genetic Variation resource is designed to describe an atomic sequence which contains more than one bases but has at most one variation.

10.4.1.1 - This resource is designed to describe a genetic variation with clinical significance with information

Comment:

I have long argued that this is a badly named resource.

Regarding the description of atomic sequences "[containing] more than one bases but has at most one variation.- I dont understand what more than one bases means - does it refer to one base pair or nucleotide bases (which would make sense)?

Then if it has only one variation, why is the name a sequence rather than a variation?

It goes on to say This resource is designed to describe a sequence variation. Why not call a spade a spade?

Furthermore, even though I am on this committee and I know the name well, when I saw Sequence among a host of other things, and near scheduling, what came to mind was a sequence of steps in a work flow.

Summary:

genetic variation resource (rename sequence variation resource)
