  • Publication number: 20090228213
    Abstract: A display method and a display apparatus capable of discriminating correctly between a true peak and noise peaks in a waveform data of a fluorescence analysis result that is obtained from an electrophoresis experiment of PCR amplification products of a DNA fragment and also capable of displaying them are provided. Whether or not a complex peak waveform is generated is judged based on sequence information on a DNA marker. When a complex peak waveform is generated, a peak judging algorithm dedicated to complex peak waveform is applied. This peak judging algorithm is characterized in that peak misjudgment can be avoided by making the distance between a first fitting position of a basic waveform and a second fitting position of the basic waveform longer than a unit length at the time of fitting the basic waveform.

  • Publication number: 20060122791
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating the relative height of a stutter peak in an individual typing experiment and a pooled typing experiment which is conducted on a DNA marker with high accuracy without performing an additional preliminary experiment, and displaying the result of the experiment or the like that has been corrected in accordance with the results of estimation. A determination as to whether or not a DNA marker is a compound marker and the estimation of the relative height of a stutter peak are made by utilizing the intervals of peaks in a waveform of a detection signal obtained from a PCR amplification product and the features of published genome sequences.

  • Patent number: 6102614
    Abstract: A concrete block has a first and a second hole passing through the concrete block in a vertically direction. An internal thread is formed in the first and the second hole. A plurality of tiles have a slipping resistivity. The tiles are arranged in order on an upper surface of the concrete block. The first and the second hole each have at a level of the upper surface an open region smaller than a respective tile.
