1. A method of describing mutations in a patient genome, the method comprising using a computer system comprising a memory coupled to a processor for:

  • receiving data representing a first mutation and a second mutation in the patient genome;

    creating a first instance of an abstract class of genomic feature and storing in the first instance a number representing a start position in a reference human genome and at least one IUPAC character representing a nucleotide found in the patient genome at the start position and not found in the reference human genome;

    creating a second instance of the abstract class and storing in the second instance a second number representing a second start position, different from the first start position, in the reference human genome and at least one second IUPAC character representing a nucleotide found in the patient genome at the second start position and not found in the reference human genome;

    creating a third instance of the abstract class and storing in the third instance;

    the first instance, the second instance, and a description of a relationship between the first instance and the second instance; and

    describing the mutations in the patient genome based on the third instance.
