Patent ID: 8032310

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for generating biological sequence data for input to a query for identification of a predetermined biological sequence, comprising the steps of: detecting, with a processor-implemented process, a plurality of partial sequences from the predetermined biological sequence stored in memory; wherein the predetermined biological sequence represents one or more nucleotide sequences; comparing each respective partial sequence detected in the detecting step with a plurality of reference sequences; combining the partial sequences as a composite set of sequence data based on the results of the comparing step; and selecting a subsequence of the composite set of sequence data to be submitted in a query to identify a gene corresponding to the predetermined biological sequence within a predetermined confidence level; wherein the method is performed using a suitably programmed computer; and wherein the detecting step comprises: scanning the predetermined biological sequence to detect a series of base calls located between a consecutive series of non-base calls; wherein a non-base call is an unknown that represents adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine or a gap; and extracting the series of base calls as one of the plurality of partial sequences.
