Method and apparatus for extracting attributes from sequence strings and biopolymer material

Systems for creating high-dimensional vectors representing sequence strings and biopolymer materials are provided. A first system for divides respective sequence strings into blocks of at least three units to create a vocabulary of blocks. A second system selects predefined domains of a plurality of items of biopolymer materials. A third system defines each item of biopolymer material in a data set of biopolymer materials as a surface using descriptors of at least one of structure and function. A fourth system compares information regarding each biopolymer material of a plurality of biopolymer materials to information regarding each other biopolymer material.
