description	SEQUENCE LISTING According to WIPO ST.25: STANDARD FOR THE PRESENTATION OF NUCLEOTIDE AND AMINO ACID SEQUENCE LISTINGS IN PATENT APPLICATIONS: see http://www.wipo.int/scit/en/index.html "The sequence listing as defined in paragraph 2(i) shall, where it is filed together with the application, be placed at the end of the description part of the application. This part shall be entitled Sequence Listing, begin on a new page and preferably have independent page numbering. The sequence listing forms an integral part of the description; it is therefore unnecessary, subject to paragraph 36, to describe the sequences elsewhere in the description." Therefore we create here a separate sub-document for sequence listings, it should follow any drawings or the claims. It should follow the format of Annex C/ST.25 and be an external file
