Gene database retrieval system where a key sequence is compared to database sequences by a dynamic programming device

摘要

The gene database retrieval system, for making a retrieval for a gene sequence having a sequence similar to a sequence data from a gene database, contains a gene database for storing the sequence data of genes whose structures or sequences have already been analyzed and identified, a dynamic programming operation unit for determining the degree of similarity between target data and key data by utilizing the sequence data of the bases of the gene from the gene database as the target data and the sequence data of the bases as the key for retrieval, and a central processing device unit for executing the access process to make access to the gene database, in parallel to the operation process for determining the degree of similarity by transmitting the sequence data of the bases from the gene database continually one after another into the dynamic programming operation unit as the target data, by controlling the gene database and the dynamic programming operation unit.
