Abstract
A genetic information managing apparatus compares a base sequence of a subject with a standard base sequence to determine a longest common base sequence, and arranges the base sequence of the subject on the standard base sequence in accordance with the longest common base sequence. The genetic information managing apparatus divides the arranged base sequence into a plurality of base code groups, allocates a plurality of identifiers to the plurality of base code groups, respectively, and stores the plurality of base code groups to a plurality of storing units in association with corresponding identifiers.
Claims16
An apparatus for managing genetic information, comprising:
- a base sequence receiver configured to receive a decoded base sequence of a subject;
- a base code group divider configured to divide the base sequence into a plurality of base code groups;
- an identifier allocator configured to allocate a plurality of identifiers to the plurality of base code groups, respectively;
- a plurality of storing units;
- and
- a storing controller configured to store the plurality of base code groups to the plurality of storing units respectively, in association with corresponding identifiers.
A method of managing genetic information of a subject by a genetic information managing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving a decoded base sequence of the subject;
- dividing the base sequence into a plurality of base code groups;
- allocating a plurality of identifiers to the plurality of base code groups, respectively;
- and
- storing the plurality of base code groups to the plurality of storing units respectively, in association with corresponding identifiers.
An apparatus for managing genetic information, comprising:
- an identifier receiver configured to receive identification information of a subject, the identification information including a plurality of identifiers;
- a plurality of storing units configured to store a plurality of base code groups in association with a plurality of identifiers, the plurality of base code groups being formed by dividing a base sequence;
- a base code group collector configured to collect a plurality of base code groups that correspond to the plurality of identifiers of the identification information, respectively;
- a base sequence assembler configured to assemble the collected base code groups in accordance with a rule used for dividing the base sequence to generate a base sequence of a subject;
- an inquiry base sequence receiver configured to receive an inquiry base sequence;
- an comparator configured to compare the base sequence of the subject with the inquiry base sequence to determine whether the base sequence of the subject includes the inquiry base sequence;
- and
- an output unit configured to output information about whether the base sequence of the subject includes the inquiry base sequence.
A method of managing genetic information of a subject by a genetic information managing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving identification information of the subject, the identification information including a plurality of identifiers;
- searching for a base code group corresponding to each identifier in a plurality of storing units and collecting a plurality of base code groups that correspond to the plurality of identifiers, respectively;
- assembling the plurality of base code groups in accordance with a rule used for dividing a base sequence to generate a base sequence of the subject;
- receiving an inquiry base sequence;
- comparing the base sequence of the subject with the inquiry base sequence to determine whether the base sequence of the subject includes the inquiry base sequence;
- and
- outputting information about whether the base sequence of the subject includes the inquiry base sequence.
