The number and any prefix word associated with, for example, the title or the caption of a <fig>, such as “Figure 3.” or “Exhibit 2.”. This element is also used for the number or symbol used as a prefix character for a footnote and placed at the place of the footnote reference.
This element can be used to preserve the prefix number or label of an element, for example, for a reference or citation “25.” or “[Lapeyre 2002]”. This can be useful when reconstructing untagged cross references.

<p>... A CON entry, containing instructions on how to
put the pieces back together, is also made. The CON entry
contains descriptor information, such as source organism
and references, as well as a join statement providing
explicit instructions on how to generate the complete
genome from the pieces. The Accession number assigned to
the CON record is also added as a secondary Accession
number on each of the pieces that make up the complete
genome (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="bid.37">Figure 2</xref>).

<p>This report is the most extensive DNA expression
profile of yeast genes. It examines the expression
pattern of the whole yeast genome in 300 mutant
strains. It infers the function of many unknown
genes comparing profiles among the different
mutants.</p>
