Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, data processing apparatus and computer program codes for characterizing an interrogation position, such as a SNP position, in a nucleic acid sequence are provided herein. Computer-implemented methods involving various statistical analyses are provided for characterizing an interrogation position as being associated with a phenotypic trait of interest.

Abstract: Composition and methods for use in the therapeutic and preventative treatment, study, diagnosis and prognosis of liver related disease, inflammatory disease and related conditions are disclosed. Also provided are kits and reagents for prognosis and diagnosis of liver related disease, inflammatory disease and related conditions.

Abstract: Methods, code, and apparatus are used to ensure that groups of experimental subjects selected for inclusion in a study are matched. Individuals are genotyped and the genotype data is used to determine the extent of mismatch between study groups. If groups show evidence of poor matching, then the genotype data is used to better match the study groups.

Abstract: The present invention relates to business methods for discovery of therapeutic and diagnostic products by identifying variations that occur in the human genome, relating these variations to one another, and, ultimately, relating these variations to the genetic bases of phenotype such as disease resistance, disease susceptibility or drug response.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for identifying variations that occur in the human genome, relating these variations to one another, and, ultimately, relating these variations to the genetic bases of phenotype such as disease resistance, disease susceptibility or drug response. The methods allow for, once variants have been identified, determining variant haplotype blocks and patterns, and further, resolving ambiguities in the haplotype block and pattern data sets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for identifying variations that occur in the human genome and relating these variations to the genetic basis of disease and drug response. In particular, the present invention relates to identifying individual SNPs, determining SNP haplotype blocks and patterns, and, further, using the SNP haplotype blocks and patterns to dissect the genetic bases of disease and drug response. The methods of the present invention are useful in whole genome analysis.

Abstract: A software testing system tests software. The software testing system includes a set-up and control system, and one or more test systems connected to the set-up and control system. The set-up and control system includes a user interface for interacting with a user of the software testing system. The set-up and control system stores test data and test configurations. Each test system sets up test cases from the test data and the test configurations stored in the set-up and control system. Each test case inherits attributes from at least one test object within the test system. The inherited attributes facilitates the interaction of the test system with the test cases.
