  • Quantitative Total Definition of Biologically Active Sequence Elements
    Publication number: 20130217585
    Abstract: A method and apparatus include preparing a library of molecules that can be sequenced. The library includes multiple instances of each possible member of a k-mer. The library is sequenced to determine the relative frequency of each member of the k-mer in the library. The library is contacted with a biochemical system. A population of output molecules is sequenced to determine the relative frequency of each member of the k-mer in the population of output molecules. Each output molecule is related to a product of a process of the biochemical system and carries a k-mer related to a corresponding k-mer of a library molecule involved in the process. Effectiveness of each member of the k-mer is determined based on the relative frequency of each member of the k-mer in the population of output molecules and the relative frequency of the corresponding k-mer in the library.
