all_entities_Contig
Return all instances of the Contig entity.
A contig is thought of as composing a part of the DNA associated with a specific genome. It is represented as an ID (including the genome ID) and a ContigSequence. We do not think of strings of DNA from, say, a metgenomic sample as "contigs", since there is no associated genome (these would be considered ContigSequences). This use of the term "ContigSequence", rather than just "DNA sequence", may turn out to be a bad idea. For now, you should just realize that a Contig has an associated genome, but a ContigSequence does not.
Example:
all_entities_Contig -a would retrieve all entities of type Contig and include all fields in the entities in the output.
