Claim 19:
20. A computing system comprising:
one or more processors;
memory; and
program instructions, stored in the memory, that upon execution by the one or more processors cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by way of a graphical user interface, a selection of at least one of a first individual and a second individual, wherein the selection is made either through a menu or text entry;
retrieving, from a database, representations of diploid sequences of the first individual and the second individual, wherein the diploid sequences include values for markers;
comparing the representations of diploid sequences of the first individual and the second individual using windows of a fixed size;
identifying, as identical segments, the windows for which the values of markers on both of the diploid sequences are identical for the first individual and the second individual;
identifying, as half-identical segments, the windows for which the values of markers on only one of the diploid sequences are identical for the first individual and the second individual;
identifying, as non-identical segments, the windows for which the markers on neither of the diploid sequences are identical for the first individual and the second individual; and
providing for display, on the graphical user interface, a visual indication of the diploid sequences wherein: the diploid sequences are displayed in order of their numbering, a first color, shading, or fill pattern is used to depict locations of the identical segments, a second color, shading, or fill pattern is used to depict locations of the half-identical segments, and a third color, shading, or fill pattern is used to depict the non-identical segments.
