Abstract: The exemplary embodiments may obtain protein, gene sequence or nucleic acid sequences from data sources, process the sequences with a processor executing computer programming instructions to identify mutations and display information regarding the mutations to a user on a display device. For protein sequences, the exemplary embodiments may identify which subsequences in the sequences are well suited for observing as positions in the sequences where possible mutations may arise. Statistical techniques may be applied to variations in the subsequences to determine whether the variations are mutations or not. The displayed information regarding each mutation may include the nature of the mutation, the frequency of the mutation, the location of the user having the mutation, the date that the sample was obtained and other information of interest.

Abstract: Techniques for real-time or substantially real-time peak detection are described. In one embodiment, for example, logic coupled to memory may be configured to receive data from at least one analytical instrument and perform processing or analysis on the received data. Moreover, the logic may be configured to determine, via one or more GPUs or CPUs (or both), one or more peaks based on the processing or the analysis of the received data and generate peak detection data based on the detected one or more peaks in real-time or substantially real-time. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: Described are techniques for testing an application. A test script including one or more instructions is received to test an application. A user interaction with a user interface of the application is emulated. Emulating includes executing a first portion of instructions in the test script. An output is received including information displayed using the user interface in response to the user interaction. Verification processing is performed for the output. The verification processing includes executing a second portion of instructions in the test script. A first instruction in the test script references a user interface data element without specifying a complete path for the user interface data element.
