Abstract:
1. A method for high throughput analysis of data sets generally described by sets of peaks, each set of peaks having been extracted from an electrophoregram profile j of a biological sample k which has been amplified for a particular sequence of nucleotide, and in each set of peaks, the i th peak is characterized by a nucleotide length L i,j,k and an area A i,j,k , the method comprising using bioinformatics tools comprising a computer to extract and smooth peak data sets according to parameter files and store them in data files, wherein smoothing comprises steps of: for each peak of a set of peaks, calculating an Euclidian division using the integer 3 of L if the mean of reminders is superior to a first predefined threshold, shifting all peaks of the set of peaks by −1 nucleotide length, and if the mean of reminders is inferior to a second predefined threshold, shifting all peaks of the set of peaks +1 nucleotide length.
