Abstract:
1. Device for recording sequence information on biological compounds, comprising: a sequencer for reading sequence information on said biological compounds; dividing means for dividing one of text data representing a sequence of said biological compounds and numerical data obtained by converting said text data utilizing a conversion rule, into a plurality of m-bit partial data arranged in a plurality of columns in an arranged direction corresponding to a direction along which said biological compounds are placed, and in a plurality of rows in a non-arranged direction which crosses said arranged direction, where m is an integer greater than or equal to 16; computing means for computing a first set of parity information by applying a first operation of a Galois field GF(2 recording means for recording said first and second sets of parity information in a recording medium, wherein: when α is a primitive element of a Galois field GF(2 said second set of parity information includes a sum of a plurality of products obtained by multiplying a set of said partial data of each row along said arranged direction by α
