Specific identifiers of amino-acid base sequences
First Claim
1. A method of generating an identifier specific to a base sequence or an amino-acid sequence or a segment/segments of a sequence comprising converting data with a conversion function to generate the identifier, wherein the data comprises a representation of connection order of residues in the sequence or the segment/segments of the sequence, and wherein the generated identifier is specific to the sequence and specific to descriptive information related to the sequence other than strings of characters representing the sequence of amino acids or nucleotides, and wherein the identifier is derived from the sequence itself.

Abstract
In order to assign specific identifiers to amino-acid sequences and base sequences, specific identifiers of sequences are generated from data representing connection order of residues in the sequences by using a conversion function, such as collision intractable hash function or universal one-way hash function, and are assigned to the sequences.
