Defining Intragenomic Variants (DIVs) Fasta file containing sequences from the SymPortal database that have a name associated to them. These sequences represent either sequences that the SymPortal database was seeded with when it was first created (see associated MS for more details), or sequences that have been used to define an ITS2 type profile (i.e. Defining Intragenomic [Seqeunce] Variant; DIVs). Fasta contains 5,524 sequences. Last updated: 2024-02-13.
