Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Human DNA exhibits hypervariability through Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTRs).
  • Allelic variants in these VNTR polymorphisms often follow a continuous random variable model.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop algorithms for classifying continuous data in DNA genetic systems.
  • To estimate relative frequencies of hypervariable DNA polymorphisms.
  • To implement routines for managing databases of single-locus DNA genetic systems.

Main Methods:

  • Compilation of simple algorithms in BASIC language for data classification and frequency estimation.
  • Implementation of routines for database management of hypervariable genetic systems.
  • Discussion of three procedures: arbitrary classes, point estimations with error measurements, and phenotype frequency estimates.
