Common module profiling of genes

摘要

A system for profiling a genomic sequence comprising assigning modules to a genome, wherein each module has a defined sequence characteristic and the genome is divided into modules; assigning a value or weight to a module for a given profile, wherein the presence of one or more modules in a genomic sequence contributes to the profile of the genomic sequence relative to its value or weight; analysing a genomic sequence to identify modules present; and assigning a profile to the genomic sequence based on the presence of the modules and their respective value or weight.
