1. A computer implemented method of calling an unknown base in a sample nucleic acid sequence, comprising:
- inputting a plurality of base calls for the unknown base, each of the base calls having an associated value;
selecting a base call from the plurality of base calls for the unknown base according to the associated values; and
calling the unknown base according to the selected base call.

Abstract
A computer system for analyzing nucleic acid sequences is provided. The computer system is used to calculate probabilities for determining unknown bases by analyzing the fluorescence intensities of hybridized nucleic acid probes on biological chips. Additionally, information from multiple experiments is utilized to improve the accuracy of calling unknown bases.
