Minimization of epigenetic surprisal data of epigenetic data within a time series

A method of minimizing epigenetic surprisal data comprising:

• a computer receiving a request for an epigenetic time series analysis comprising at least a period of time for the epigenetic time series analysis;
• the computer retrieving epigenetic data at time points within the time period from a repository;
• the computer designating a first epigenetic data at a time point within the time period as a baseline;
• the computer comparing the baseline to a next epigenetic data and storing the difference in a repository as epigenetic surprisal data;
• the computer designating the next epigenetic data from the comparison as the baseline, and
• the computer repeating the step of comparing and designating, until all epigenetic data in the time period have been compared.

A computer program product for minimizing epigenetic surprisal data, comprising:

• one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to receive a request for an epigenetic time series analysis comprising at least an indication of a baseline epigenetic surprisal data and a period of time for the epigenetic time series analysis;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to retrieve a baseline epigenetic surprisal data and epigenetic surprisal data for at least one time point within the time period from a repository;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to compare the at least one epigenetic surprisal data within the time period to the baseline epigenetic surprisal data, producing at least one epigenetic modification difference;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to store the at least one epigenetic modification difference in a repository;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to repeat the method for all epigenetic surprisal data time points within the time period.
