Method and apparatus for extracting attributes from sequence strings and biopolymer material
First Claim
1. A method of visualizing comparison results for at least one of a plurality of biopolymer materials represented in a set of sequences, the method comprising:
- comparing a sequence of each biopolymer material to a sequence of each other biopolymer material to provide respective comparison results;
arranging the comparison results in a square matrix indexed by the plurality of biopolymer materials;
creating a high-dimensional context vector for at least one of the biopolymer materials based on a row or column of the square matrix; and
projecting the context vector onto a two- or three-dimensional viewing area;
thereby visualizing comparison results for at least one of a plurality of biopolymer materials represented in the set of sequence.

Abstract
Systems for creating high-dimensional vectors representing sequence strings and biopolymer materials are provided. A first system for divides respective sequence strings into blocks of at least three units to create a vocabulary of blocks. A second system selects predefined domains of a plurality of items of biopolymer materials. A third system defines each item of biopolymer material in a data set of biopolymer materials as a surface using descriptors of at least one of structure and function. A fourth system compares information regarding each biopolymer material of a plurality of biopolymer materials to information regarding each other biopolymer material.
