Assignee: Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. (Des Moines, IA)
Application Number:10/101,080
Patent Claims:1. A data processing system, comprising: data representing at least one genetic sequence in a memory of said data processing system, wherein said genetic sequence is: (i) a polynucleotide of at least 1500 contiguous nucleotides in length with at least 90% 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 90% sequence identity to the polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein sequence identity is calculated according to the method of the GAP program under default parameters; a genetic identification, analysis, or modeling computer program designed to govern the processing of said data; and a data processor having an output for storing or displaying data processing results, said data processor containing said data and said computer program and executing instructions according to said computer program to process said data or a contiguous subsequence thereof.

2. The data processing system of claim 1, wherein said data processing system is a distributed system having its input and output portions separated from at least some of its processing portions.

3. The data processing system of claim 2, wherein said data processing is distributed over an intranet, an internet, or both.

4. The data processing system of claim 1, wherein said program comprises at least one of: a sequence similarity calculation application, a sequence identity calculation application, a protein structure determination application, a sequence alignment determination application, a translation application, a backtranslation application, an antigenicity identification application, a secondary structure identification application, a hydrophobicity calculation application, an isoelectric point calculation application.

5. The data processing system of claim 1, wherein said data processor stores said data in a memory while processing said data, and wherein successive portions of said data are copied sequentially into at least one register of said data processor where said portions are processed.

6. The data processing system of claim 1, wherein said genetic sequence is a test sequence input into said memory from a gene or protein database.

7. The data processing system of claim 1, wherein said genetic sequence is a reference sequence.

8. The data processing system of claim 1, wherein said computer program is a genetic identification computer program.

9. The data processing system of claim 1, wherein said genetic sequence is: (i) a palynucleotide of at least 1800 contiguous nucleotides in length with at least 95% sequence identity to a polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or (ii) a polypeptide of at least 600 contiguous amino acids in length with at least 95% sequence identity to a polypepilde sequence of SEQ ID NO:2.

10. 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 the genetic sequence, wherein said genetic sequence is: (i) a polynucleotide of at least 1500 contiguous nucleotides in length with at least 90% sequence identity to the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, or (ii) a polypeptide of at least 550 contiguous amino acids in length with at least 90% sequence identity to a polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein sequence identity is calculated according to the method of 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.

11. The data processing system of claim 10, wherein said logical sub-component of said genetic sequence is a member selected from the group consisting of restriction enzyme sites, endopeptidase sites, major grooves, minor groves, beta-sheet, alpha helices, ORFs, 5' UTRs, 3' UTRs, nbosome binding sites, glycosylation sites, signal peptide domains, intron-exon junctions, poly-A signals, transcription initiation sites, translation start sites, translation termination sites, methylation sites, zinc finger domains, modified amino acid sites, preproprotein-proprotein junctions, proprotein-protein junctions, transit peptide domains, SNPs, SSRs, RFLPs, insertion elements, transmembrane spanning regions and stem-loop structures.

12. The data processing system of claim 10, wherein said genetic sequence is a test sequence input into said memory from a gene or protein database.

13. The data processing system of claim 10, wherein said genetic sequence is a reference sequence.

14. The data processing system of claim 10, wherein said computer program is a genetic identification computer program.

15. The data processing system of claim 10, wherein said genetic sequence is: (i) a polynucieotide of at least 1800 contiguous nucleotides in length with at least 95% sequence identity to the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or (ii) a polypeptide of at least 600 contiguous amino acids in length with at least 95% sequence identity to the polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2.
