TITLE           What are Species?

DESCRIPTION     One species is one database entry containing many database entries
                describing the species and one or more sequences (every sequence
                belongs to a different alignment).

                A species is not necessarily consistent with a taxonomic species.

                acc                             Accession number

                full_name                       (User defined) name of the species

                ali_16s/data                    a 16s sequence (part of the 16s alignment)
                ali_23s/data                    a 23s sequence
                ali_.../data                    a ... sequence

                The description of the alignment, e.g. type or length, is not stored in every
                species but in an alignment description.
