  • Publication number: 20040142325
    Abstract: A method of annotating biomolecular sequences The method comprises (a) computationally clustering the biomolecular sequences according to a progressive homology range, to thereby generate a plurality of clusters each being of a predetermined homology of the homology range; and (b) assigning at least one ontology to each cluster of the plurality of clusters, the at least one ontology being: (i) derived from an annotation preassociated with at least one biomolecular sequence of each cluster; and/or (ii) generated from analysis of the at least onic biomolecular sequence of each cluster thereby annotating biomolecular sequences.

  • Patent number: 6740516
    Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:6 is an alternative splice variant of human kallikrien-2 gene (KLK-2). An expression vector containing the splice variant and a host cell transfected by the expression vector are provided. The nucleic acid is useful for determining the level of nucleic acid sequences of human kallikrien variants in a biological sample.
