Example <INSDQualifier_value>INVERTED</INSDQualifier_value>
Comment the values are case-insensitive, i.e. both "INVERTED" and "inverted" are valid;
Definitions of the values:
tandem - a repeat that exists adjacent to another in the same orientation;
inverted - a repeat which occurs as part of as set (normally a part) organized in the reverse orientation;
flanking - a repeat lying outside the sequence for which it has functional significance (eg. transposon insertion target sites);
terminal - a repeat at the ends of and within the sequence for which it has functional significance (eg. transposon LTRs);
direct - a repeat that exists not always adjacent but is in the same orientation; dispersed, - a repeat that is found dispersed throughout the genome;
other - a repeat exhibiting important attributes that cannot be described by other values.
