  - ReferenceID
  - NucleicAcid
  - NucleicAcidSecondaryStructure
  - WavelengthRange
  - Y-axis Unit

- For programming and analysis, ignore commented lines in Python pandas

```python
import pandas as pd

data = pd.read_csv("REFID_0000.csv", sep=",", header=0, comment="#")

# This will load the files with a uniform column headers
#   - Wavelength
#   - CD_Units
