Computer processing methods and/or systems for minimizing and/or optimizing data strings in accordance with rules and options. Minimized data strings can represent data sequences important in certain biologic analyses and/or syntheses. In specific embodiments, a request is generated by a user at a client system and received by a server system. The server system accesses initial data indicated or provided by the client system. The server system then performs an analysis to minimize the data needed for further reactions. In specific embodiments, a server can use proprietary methods or data at the server side while protecting those proprietary methods and data from access by the client system. |

Computer-implemented methods, systems and apparatus, including computer program apparatus, provide techniques for designing a set of experiments to be performed with a set of resources. A plurality of experimental configurations are generated based on a set of parameters describing factors to be varied in the experiments and a set of constraints representing limitations on operations that can be performed with the set of resources. A set of experiments is defined based on a selected configuration. The constraints can be represented as patterns defining an application of a parameter to a set of one or more points of an experimental lattice. |

Methods to create databases of peptides having a desirable property, such as antimicrobial activity, involving analyzing a database of known peptides for a pattern statistically associated with the desirable property are described herein, The set of sequences being analyzed may include sequences of a desired length containing all or substantially all combinations of amino acids that conform to at least one of the set of patterns. Once the database is identified, the database may be processed in a pattern recognition procedure that identifies a set of patterns that may be representative of a peptide having the desirable property. A set of newly generated peptides sequences may then be processed to score these new sequences against the identified patterns to correlate the patterns to the sequences and determine a degree of association or similarity between one or more of the new sequences and the set of identified patterns. |

The invention provides for in silico analysis of a virtual combinatorial library. Mapping coordinates for a training subset of products in the combinatorial library, and features of their building blocks, are obtained. A supervised machine learning approach is used to infer a mapping function ƒ that transforms the building block features for each product in the training subset of products to the corresponding mapping coordinates for each product in the training subset of products. The mapping function ƒ is then encoded in a computer readable medium. The mapping function ƒ can be retrieved and used to generate mapping coordinates for any product in the combinatorial library from the building block features associated with the product. |

Methods and apparatus, including computer program apparatus, implementing techniques for designing sets of combinatorial experiments. A set of experimental parameters, sampling patterns, and constraints defines a set of experiments that is limited to a volume of a hyperspace defined by the set of experimental parameters. Parameters can be grouped by type such that grouped parameters are constrained to perform a common role in the set of experiments. The practicability of the experiment design can be estimated based on the number of experiments in the set of experiments. The experiment design can be used to prepare one or more combinatorial libraries. |
