Abstract:
1. A method for assessing the degree of reliability of a nucleic acid base sequence, comprising the steps of: (A) computing a processing evaluation value E1 (B) computing an analytical data evaluation value E2 (C) computing a degree of reliability by a predetermined calculation formula using the processing evaluation value E1 wherein steps (A)-(C) are performed by a data processing computer, wherein in the step (A), an evaluation indicator E11 where E11 where constE11 is a normalized constant, and when (Signal(i)/Noise(i))≧constE11, E11 wherein in the step (B), a characteristic indicator for evaluating a peak-to-peak interval of the analytical data defined by the following formula is computed as the analytical data evaluation value E2 where dMax wherein in the step (C), a degree of reliability QV where constQV is a correction constant and Erri is an error probability of an i-th base and is represented by the following formula: where E1
