This system comprises steps of (a) receiving nucleotide sequence-related information concerning a predetermined individual and (b) identifying, from a memory comprising a nucleotide sequence-related information group for each individual including a plurality of sets to which positional information representing a position in a nucleotide sequence and nucleotide sequence-related information corresponding to the positional information are mutually related, a nucleotide sequence-related information group including nucleotide sequence-related information that has consistency of the received nucleotide sequence-related information.

Abstract: There is provided a system performing high-accuracy diagnostic decision support in consideration of the influence of a haplotype block and a genetic structure. Haplotype block inference means 13 infers the positions of haplotype blocks, and analyzes each of the haplotype blocks to infer a haplotype pattern of individuals with high accuracy. Genetic structure inference means 15 performs clustering the individuals on the basis of the haplotype pattern to divide a population into some subpopulations, and removes the influence of a genetic structure existing in the population. A genetic structure information database 16 and a clinical information database 11 are used to analyze association of clinical information with genetic information for providing high-accuracy diagnostic decision support knowledge.

Abstract: An annotation command data for annotating a displayed image is in the form of an original data block having a first data area holding an initial state for the displayed image and a second data area holding one or more commands and a starting time point of execution for each of the commands. Execution of each command is started at its associated starting time point of execution. For editing of the annotation command data, the original data block may be divided to produce therefrom plural secondary data blocks each having an initial state, a part of the one or more commands and a starting time point of execution for each of the part of the commands, so that one of the secondary data blocks is deleted, or a new data block having an initial state, one or more commands and starting time point of execution therefor is inserted between the secondary data blocks.

Abstract: An item pattern straddling over two or more databases with different structure and/or attributes is extracted from the databases based on a comparison of partial data. The support count for the item pattern is counted by communicating a list of identifiers for records, the number of the identifiers, or a subset of the item pattern between the databases. For an item pattern with a known support count, an upper-bound value of the support counts for subsets of that item pattern is calculated on the basis of a difference in the support counts for the subsets, thereby limiting the item patterns for which the support counts are to be counted.

Abstract: Original image coordinate data representing boundary positions of an object detected through the search of the object along predetermined multiple directions is produced in advance. A range image seen from a display plane is produced through the affine transformation process for the detected boundary positions and comparison and substitution processes for distances by means of a Z-buffer. A shading process is performed based on the range image, and the resulting object image is displayed on a CRT screen or the like. This method enables the transformation of voxel-wise original image data into original image coordinate data merely through the sequential access to the original image data, eliminating the need of intricate image processes such as tracking on the object surface, and is capable of displaying a three-dimensional image of the object quickly and also enhancing the picture quality of the displayed image.
