In this information processing apparatus, sequence information relating to a genome sequence is acquired by the acquisition unit. Further, inversion information in which the sequence is inverted is generated by the inversion unit on the basis of the sequence information. Further, protein information relating to a protein is generated by the generation unit on the basis of the inversion information. As a result, it is possible to predict information relating to a protein with high accuracy.

  • Patent number: 10759617
    Abstract: A sheet feed portion feeds a sheet by performing a pickup operation in a cycle in which a pickup rotary member is switched from a released state to a contact state and then switched to the released state. A detection unit detects the sheet at a position downstream of the sheet feed portion in the sheet feeding direction. A control unit is capable of executing a first feed mode in which a first feed process of carrying out a pickup operation is executed, or a second feed mode in which the first feed process is executed and then a second feed process of carrying out an additional pickup operation is executed. The mode to be executed is determined based on a time when the sheet is detected by the detection unit and a length of the sheet.
