Sequence data, e.g., genetic sequence data such as nucleic acid or amino acid sequences, can be represented in Genetic Images, as defined herein, that provide a compact, portable image that can be analyzed electronically (e.g., by computer) or optically, e.g., visually or by optical scanning devices. New methods and systems are described by which sequence data is first converted into a numeric data set, which is, in turn, encoded to form a Genetic Image. The Genetic Image can be traced backwards to determine the original sequence data. |
