| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a new method for the converting of a protein sequence or an NA sequence into an overlappingly translated protein sequence (OTS) comprising the steps:a) back-translating said protein sequence into a NA sequence, if necessary, otherwise use already existing NA sequence and go directly to step b), b) translating said NA sequence wherein 3 different codon reading frames are used, one starting on nucleic acid 1, one starting on nucleic acid 2 and one starting on nucleic acid 3, c) combining the amino acids obtained into an overlappingly translated protein sequence. Also a method for comparing overlappingly translated protein sequences and computer programs for performing said above methods stored on a data carrier are disclosed. The present invention also relates to a method for the converting of an overlappingly translated protein sequence (OTS) into a 20 amino acid long fingerprint and a method for determining a fingerprint similarity coefficient comprising comparing a fingerprint obtainable from said method with a predetermined fingerprint stored on a data carrier. |
