MAPPING DISPLAY METHOD FOR SPLICE VARIANT SEQUENCE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To intelligibly display relationship between types and transcription starting positions of the splice variant, and manifestation information. SOLUTION: Exon-intron structures are determined for a large quantity of cDNA sequences on the basis of mapping results for genome sequence, the cDNA is sorted into presumed types originated in the same splice variant by respectively comparing the structures, and the exon-intron structures are displayed along the genome sequences for every variant type. Further, breakdowns 107 of the manifestation information are displayed for each type, and breakdowns 111 of the manifestation information are also displayed for each transcription starting position. Thus, analysis results for a large quantity of sequence data are displayed in a compact size, and the volume of data to be viewed by people is restrained for easy understanding.
