Features-Seg?

What does “Features-Seg” signify? It marks certain portions of a protein in the protein features page, but I don’t understand what it means.

Thanks,

that is a feature created with the seg filter. It basically marks regions of the protein where the sequence seems to contain very little information (like homopolymere runs).
