Methods for providing a set of symbols uniquely distinguishing an organism such as a human individual

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for providing a set of symbols uniquely distinguishing an organism. Specifically, the present invention relates to such method comprising a) providing, in a predetermined order, a number of parameters of said biological characteristic of said sample and their corresponding established values, wherein the combination of said values is uniquely distinguishing said sample; b) translating each corresponding established value of said number of parameters into a single character unique for that individual, established, corresponding value of a particular parameter of said biological characteristic; c) converting said single character into a computer readable code; d) combining said computer readable codes of said single characters into a single string; e) dividing said single string into a set of consecutive segments of a predetermined length; and f) transforming said set of consecutive segments into a set of symbols uniquely distinguishing said biological sample; wherein said predetermined order of said number of parameters of said biological characteristic, and the corresponding established values of step (a) is maintained.

1. A method for deriving a unique distinguishing biological characteristic from a sample of biological material and using that characteristic to produce a reduced set of symbols as a biological PIN code which is uniform in size, while the distinguishing capabilities are maintained, in such a way that when from different samples of biological material the same biological characteristic is derived, the production of said set of symbols results in an identical biological PIN code for each of those samples, comprising the following steps in a suitable order:
a) determination of a unique distinguishing biological characteristic in a sample of biological material, whereas the birth rank is included if the biological material originates from an individual who is a member of identical twins or an identical triplet, or quadruplet; b) ordering the parameters of said biological characteristic of said sample of biological material and their corresponding established values according to a predetermined order; c) simplification of said characteristic by translation of each of said established values of its parameters into a single character, thereby creating a set of characters per biological characteristic that is uniform in size; d) data compression and dissolving the redundancy which is resulting from said translation, leading to a set of symbols that is reduced in the number of symbols, compared to the number of characters in said set of characters; e) formation of a single string of symbols by concatenation of the symbols in said set of symbols, or formation of a single string of symbols from said set of symbols and the encryption of said string; f) transformation of said string of symbols or said encrypted string of symbols into other symbols, which are sensory perceptible and/or machine detectable; g) combination of said other symbols into 1 set, forming a single biological PIN code of uniform size.
