Abstract:
A data processing system having a memory and enabling programs to process data contained in said memory, comprising:at least one data structure in said memory, said data structure supporting computer program access to data representing a genetic sequence, wherein said genetic sequence is: (i) a polynucleotide of at least 1500 contiguous nucleotides in length with at least 85% sequence identity to a polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, or (ii) a polypeptide of at least 550 contiguous amino acids in length with at least 85% sequence identity to a polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein sequence identity is determined by the GAP program under default parameters; and at least one genetic identification, analysis, or modeling computer program in said memory, said computer program directing the execution of instructions by said data processing system and using said genetic sequence to identify, analyze, or model at least one data element corresponding to a logical subcomponent of said genetic sequence.
