    <strong>Relevant feature information for population or phylogenetic studies:</strong>
    <p>
    A set comprises a group of sequences that represent the same gene or locus
    in different organisms or in different isolates, strains, or clones of the
    same organism.  A set can be, for example, phylogenetic (different organisms), population (same organism), or environmental (unclassified or unknown organisms).
    </p>
    <ul> 
      <li>unique descriptive information for each sequence (eg, clone, strain,
      isolate, or organism names)</li>
      <li>creating a set will allow the sequences to be retreivable by Entrez <a
