Methods for analyzing polymer populations
First Claim
1. A method for analyzing polymer intensity data from a sample comprising obtaining intensity profiles from individual labeled polymers contained in the sample, aligning individual intensity profiles from individual labeled polymers with respect to an alignment reference point, combining aligned individual intensity profiles to generate a population profile, selecting a peak in the population profile and obtaining individual intensity profiles that contribute to peak, combining individual intensity profiles that contribute to the peak to generate a peak profile, and comparing the peak profile with the population profile.
