Abstract:
1. A method of designing a probe from a polynucleotide group comprising a plurality of polynucleotides, the method comprising: providing a sequence for each polynucleotide in a plurality of polynucleotides; forming a polynucleotide group consisting of all the sequences; producing polynucleotide fragments having a certain length from each of the sequences of the polynucleotide group; obtaining a sequence for each polynucleotide fragment; providing, for each polynucleotide fragment, a sequence specific identification number using the sequence for the polynucleotide fragment; comparing the sequence specific identification numbers of the polynucleotide fragments to each other to select a probe; and displaying the selected probe; wherein the sequence specific identification number is calculated by providing bases of nucleotides A, T, G, and C in the sequence of the polynucleotide fragment with values of 0, 4 adding the provided values for each base in the sequence and values from 4 providing the sum as the sequence specific identification number of the polynucleotide fragment.
