JP2002049628A - Dna personal identification data indicating method - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make naming of an allele of a gene locus simpler, and to provide an indicating method for DNA personal identification data by which registration and retrieval can be easily performed. SOLUTION: In this method, a DNA typing inspection of an allele of a gene locus of a specific region is performed plural times, with the result that each allele is ascertained, and each allele is not indicated by each nomenclature but indicated by a number which is the naming of the allele digitized and registered in advance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for displaying DNA individual identification data. The present invention relates to a method for displaying DNA individual identification data registered and stored in a file.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art DNA is the main body of a gene, and is also called a blueprint for life. Except for identical twins, no animal has the exact same DNA, and since it is lifelong, it can be used for individual identification (DNA individual identification data) as well as fingerprints. This is used in DNA testing, where DNA testing refers to analyzing DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in animal cells and reading information.

[0003] For example, a child inherits each gene from a parent, and by examining the allele at a locus at a specific site, it is possible to determine whether the allele is inherited from the father or the mother. Alleles at the locus at the site can be examined and the genetic information can be scientifically verified.

[0004] In the field of genetic research, when an allele at a locus at a specific site is newly discovered, the name of the allele is added and registered and stored. Further, it is necessary to regularly search gene sequences from gene databases for gene sequence information for alleles at loci at specific sites that may be newly discovered.

[0005] Known database organizations for these genetic information include the National Institute of Genetics in Japan and the NCBI (National Center Biology) in the United States.
Genbank, EBI (European Bioinformatics) in Europe
TICs Institute (formerly EMBL) gene databases.
It is available on media such as D-ROMs and magnetic tapes.

[0006]

However, in the conventional nomenclature for alleles, as shown in FIG. 2, two pairs of alleles are named for each locus at a specific site. Naming is complicated. Therefore, DNA
Storing and retrieving individual identification data has become quite cumbersome.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for easily storing and retrieving DNA individual identification data.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided a method for displaying DNA individual identification data, comprising the steps of:
The naming of the allele is quantified, and the numerical value is input to a storage medium such as a computer, and can be searched by output when necessary.

According to the method of the present invention, alleles quantified (numbers from 0 to 9) can be easily stored as DNA individual identification data in a storage medium such as a computer.
Furthermore, the DN of the allele at the locus at a particular site
By performing a plurality of A-typing tests, each allele is found out, and instead of being represented by the name of each allele, it is displayed by a numerical value that has been quantified in advance,
By inputting and storing the numbers in a computer, DN
Searching and appraisal can be made as A individual identification data.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the method of the present invention. In the example of FIG. 1, four loci each from the left are registered in advance to set a locus of a specific site. Then, in the two columns from the left of the four digits, the names of alleles at the locus at a specific site are numerically designated (numbers from 0 to 9) and registered in advance. Since there are always two pairs of each allele, four digits are provided and two digits are written in numerical figures for each allele.

The number is increased as the number is written. Here, the number of digits is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to provide a check digit in order to protect the confidentiality of the last DNA individual identification data.

In the present invention, any software can be used for the DNA individual identification data.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of DNA typing tests for alleles at a locus at a specific site are performed, and as a result, each allele is identified and each nomenclature is used. Instead of displaying, it is possible to digitize allele nomenclature in advance and display DNA individual identification data using the registered numbers.
