Patent number: 11017881Abstract: A representation of a nucleic acid sequence encodes a particular gene having at least one intron. An intron signature value corresponding to the at least one intron is determined based on a first computational function applied to at least one portion of the representation of the nucleic acid sequence corresponding to the at least one intron. A protein signature value is determined, being based on a second computational function applied to a representation of a protein. In a database, an association is formed between the intron and protein signature values. This process is repeated for each of a plurality of nucleic acid sequences. Nucleic acid sequences in the database are ordered based on a sort of corresponding intron signature values. An ordering determined by the sort is used to determine or confirm a role or function of a portion of a given nucleic acid sequence.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: CODONDEX LLCInventors: Kevin Bermeister, Xinghao Yu

Patent number: 10068017Abstract: A method obtains a first data item signature for a first data item, the first data item signature comprising an association between a plurality of synch points in the first data item and a corresponding plurality of block signatures. The process attempts to find one of the synch points in a second data item; and, if such a synch point is found, then a block signature of a corresponding block of bits in the second data item is determined. The process ascertains whether the synch point and corresponding block signature from the second data item correspond to a synch point and block signature in the first data item. If a predetermined number of synch points and corresponding block signatures match, the first and second data items are considered to match. In response to said determining, one or more actions associated with the first data item are performed.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2015Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: GLOBAL FILE SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: Ravid Sagy, Norberto Meijome, David Elkind, Kevin Bermeister
