The present invention provides a time-series data display method and system for displaying time-series data items so that a user can grasp time more intuitively. First data associated with a desired date is retrieved and displayed, second data associated with a contiguous date is retrieved, and a display screen for the second data is displayed smaller than that for the first data in a temporal direction starting with the desired date. Third data is associated with a date contiguous to the second date retrieved, and is displayed inside the second data with a smaller display area. Also, in a hierarchical data display method and browser system, a display area is divided into an area where icons representing data items belonging to one level are displayed, and an area where child levels are displayed. As hierarchical depth increases, the data icons are made smaller and simpler. The hierarchical structure of a file system or data base can be displayed as a Venn diagram. Data items belonging to child levels are not hidden but displayed as reduced images, whereby intended data can be located effortlessly. A cutout form and image are registered mutually independently. An identifier, position, and size of the cutout form are specified as the attributes of the image. Thus, an image can be fetched into album software by performing a simple operation, or a cutout can be changed in size.

Spectrogram extraction from DNA sequence has been known since 2001. A DNA spectrogram is generated by applying Fourier transform to convert a symbolic DNA sequence consisting of letters A, T, C, G into a visual representation that highlights periodicities of co-occurrence of DNA patterns. Given a DNA sequence or whole genomes, with this method it is easy to generate a large number of spectrogram images. However, the difficult part is to elucidate where are the repetitive patterns and to associate a biological and clinical meaning to them. The present disclosure provides systems and methods that facilitate the location and / or identification of repetitive DNA patterns, such as CpG islands, Alu repeats, tandem repeats and various types of satellite repeats. These repetitive elements can be found within a chromosome, within a genome or across genomes of various species. The disclosed systems and methods apply image processing operators to find prominent features in the vertical and horizontal direction of the DNA spectrograms. Systems and methods for fast, full scale analysis of the derived images using supervised machine learning methods are also disclosed. The disclosed systems and methods for detecting and / or classifying repetitive DNA patterns include: (a) comparative histogram method, (b) feature selection and classification using support vector machines and genetic algorithms, and (c) generation of spectrovideo from a plurality of spectral images.

Search criteria and potential targets of searches are each represented by a classification of attributes. The search classifications and target classifications are compared to determine whether a target matches or loosely matches the search criteria. The search classifications and target classifications may be modified to increase the chance of a match or loose match. A user can request to modify a classification using a visual interface in which information about the classification is presented. The matching approach may be implemented in conjunction with conventional matching methods to provide classifications. The matching approach is capable of interacting with users of the approach to dynamically alter the classifications being searched based on any given set of search results.

The first member may be moveable into at least a first and second position. The second member may be moveable into a sealing position wherein the distal ends of the capillary tubes contact a sealant material. In the first position, the proximal ends of the capillary tubes may contact a macromolecular solution, which may cause the macromolecular solution to diffuse into the interior space of the capillary tube. In the second position, the proximal ends of the capillary tubes may be inserted into a corresponding reservoir well having a precipitating solution. The macromolecular solution and the precipitating solution may then counter diffuse against each other in each capillary tube. The removable cartridge may then be removed and replaced with a new removable cartridge.
