Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining biological sequence sites of interest using client 1 server 3 computer architecture. In the method, one or more users (not shown) use computer client or client 1 to select a biological sequence database 5 of interest, and determines the search parameters 7 which control the specificity of results to be returned. The remote computer client 1 submits the search request 11 to a central computer server 3, which processes search request 11. Once server 3 has received request 14, the claimed method is undertaken by PatternProbe Express 16 and results are returned 18 to one or more remote client(s) 1. Once received, results are viewed 22 according to the previously selected search parameters 7.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and related device (803) for analysis of biological information. With more particularity, disclosed is a novel method and device (803) for storing, using and collaboratively sharing the results of life sciences information. The method and device joins remote users (801) with a central information repository (803) to relate biological information (805) to other datasets such as various internet-based public and private human genome registries (807). As a result, the user is provided with a powerful bioinformatics tool with applications in medical diagnostics, pharmaceutical design and individualized medical treatment.
