Abstract
A system and method for performing non-binary comparison of biological sequences includes a new measure ω0, which is a non-binary counting measure that is used in a stand alone module called VaSSA-1. This measure obtains substantially more information about sequences and comparisons between them than is gathered by conventional bioinformatics techniques.
Claims38
A system for sequence analysis, comprising:
- an analysis module, adapted to calculate a non-binary similarity score between a first nucleotide sequence and a second nucleotide sequence;
- and
- an output in communication with the analysis module for outputting the similarly score.
A method for sequence analysis, comprising:
- reading a sequence file;
- selecting a target sequence and a base sequence from said file;
- performing a non-binary comparison between each base pair of said target and said base sequences, wherein said non-binary comparison generates a comparison value for each base pair;
- and
- determining a similarity between said target and said base sequences based on said comparison values.
