METHOD, DEVICE AND PROGRAM FOR GENERATING GENE DATABASE AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM TO WHICH GENE DATABASE GENERATING PROGRAM IS RECORDED

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a gene database for preparing a probe having high specificity, particularly a probe which is suitable for microarrays and a primer for obtaining the probe.

SOLUTION: A homology searching section 34 searches the homology between a candidate sequence, which a primer/probe designing section 32 has determined, and a base sequence which is stored in the gene database 10 and different from the one including the candidate sequence thus determined. Based on the result of the homology searching, whether the homology exists in the candidate sequence concerned is determined, and a sequence for amplifying the candidate sequence, in which the homology is determined to not exist, is stored in the gene database 10, in association with the base sequence to which the candidate sequence is selected.
