Refseq get me a list of known genes in a text file. One gene per line, containing different field like position, exon position, name etc...
From the documentation one of this fields is called " bin ". And the documentation said :
bin 703 smallint(5) unsigned range Indexing field to speed chromosome range queries
Do you know what's the purpose of this field ? How does it works ? Is it use for a binary tree search algorithm ?
