Identifying Co-associating Bioattributes
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A bioinformatics method for identifying combinations of pangenetic and non-pangenetic attributes that co-associate with a query attribute, comprising:
- a) receiving a query attribute;
b) accessing a set containing attribute combinations and corresponding statistical results that indicate the strength of association of each of the attribute combinations with the query attribute, wherein each of the attribute combinations contains at least one pangenetic attribute and at least one non-pangenetic attribute;
c) identifying, based on the corresponding statistical results, attribute combinations that co-associate with the query attribute; and
d) transmitting at least one of the identified attribute combinations and corresponding statistical results as output to indicate combinations of pangenetic and non-pangenetic attributes that co-associate with the query attribute.

Abstract
A bioinformatics method, software, database and system are presented in which combinations of pangenetic and non-pangenetic attributes that are most likely to co-associate with a query attribute (i.e., an attribute of interest) are identified from a database containing attribute combinations and corresponding statistical results that indicate the strength of association of the attribute combinations with the query attribute.
