US 2003/0211484 A1 · Sequence lineage evaluation interface

Abstract

A computer implemented interface provides a graphical representation of a plurality of either nucleic or amino acid sequences that have segments in common, the graphical representation enabling a user to visually compare and evaluate sequence data. Specifically, the graphical interface displays sequence data sets of either nucleic acid or amino acid sequence data, the sequence data sets including at least a first parent sequence and at least one daughter sequence, where the daughter sequence potentially includes sequence segments inherited from the first parent sequence and/or from a second parent sequence. Each daughter sequence is compared to the parent sequences, and common segments or sequence portions are displayed with a color or grayscale code to making it easy for a user to identify segments common to both parent and daughter sequences, as well as identify those segments that are not common to parent and daughter sequence.

Dependent claims

A graphical interface for displaying at least one of nucleic acid and amino acid sequence data, the sequence data representing a first parent sequence, a second parent sequence and at least one daughter sequence, where the daughter sequence includes sequence segments inherited from at least one of the first parent sequence and the second parent sequence, the graphical interface comprising:

a means for accessing sequence data of a plurality of sequences;
a means for processing sequence data, including comparing and aligning portions of the plurality of sequences with one another;
and
a means for displaying the processed sequence data and the plurality of sequences for evaluation of the plurality of sequences.
