--- title: "Get AaSequence by ID" method: GET path: "/api/v3/aa-sequence/{aa_sequence_id}" tags: ["AA Sequence"] --- # Get AaSequence by ID `GET /api/v3/aa-sequence/{aa_sequence_id}` ## Request - Base URL: `https://{tenant_name}.benchling.com` - URL: `https://{tenant_name}.benchling.com/api/v3/aa-sequence/{aa_sequence_id}` - Auth: HTTP bearer Get a single AaSequence by ID. ## Path parameters - `aa_sequence_id` string, required ## Query parameters - `returning` string[] - `omit` string[] ## Response `200` OK - AaSequence: Represents an amino acid sequence in Benchling's molecular biology platform. An AaSequence stores the one-letter amino acid code string along with annotations marking functional regions, domains, or other features of interest. `AaSequence`s can be registered in the Registry with a unique entityRegistryId, organized in folders, and linked via schema fields to other entities. Annotations (see `AaAnnotation`) mark functional regions such as signal peptides, binding domains, or engineered mutations. Parts (see `AaPart`) indicate regions matching other registered `AaSequence`s. - `__typename` string - `aliases` string[], nullable: Array of aliases - `aminoAcids` string: Amino acids of the AA sequence. - `annotations` string, uri: Annotations marking functional regions, domains, binding sites, post-translational modifications, or other features on the AA sequence. - `archiveReason` string, nullable - `archived` boolean - `createdAt` string, datetime, nullable: DateTime the AA sequence was created. - `customFields` CustomField[], nullable: Custom fields set on the AA sequence. - `__typename` string - `name` string, nullable - `value` string, nullable - `entityRegistryId` string, nullable: The registry-assigned identifier for this item (e.g. its registry ID shown in the UI), present only once the item has been registered. Null if the item is not registered. - `folder` FolderRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `id` string: ID of the AA sequence. - `modifiedAt` string, datetime, nullable: DateTime the AA sequence was last modified. - `name` string: Name of the item. - `project` ProjectRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `registrationOrigin` RegistrationOrigin: Captures the provenance of an entity's registration into the registry. The `originEntry` links to the `DocumentLike` (typically an entry or notebook) from which the entity was registered, providing traceability back to the original experimental context. The `registeredAt` timestamp records when the registration occurred. This information helps scientists understand where registered entities came from and when they were added to the registry. - `__typename` string - `originEntry` DocumentLikeRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `registeredAt` string, datetime, nullable - `registry` RegistryRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `schema` EntitySchemaRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `typedSchema` AaSequenceSchemaRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `authors` string, uri, nullable - `creator` PrincipalRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `schemaFields` SchemaFieldValue[], nullable - `__typename` string - `fieldDefinition` SchemaFieldDefinitionRef - `__typename` string - `id` string, api_id - `id` string - `linkedEntityId` string, nullable - `value` union: Types of values that Benchling can interpret. - object: A type that represents a list of BenchlingValues, used for multi-value cells (e.g. alias columns). - `__typename` 'ArrayValue', required: Discriminator value: ArrayValue - `value` SingularBenchlingValue[] - union: A union of value types that can appear as elements within an ArrayValue.
