G06F 19/18 - Definition
This group covers:
Assessment of the function of genes and proteins in determining traits, physiology and/or development of an organism, making use of computational and large scale, high-throughput technologies.
Genotypic-phenotypic associations, including genotyping and genome annotation, linkage disequilibrium analysis and association studies, population genetics, alternative splicing and Short Interfering RNA design (siRNA, RNAi).
Binding site identification, mutagenesis analysis, protein-protein or protein-nucleic acid interactions.
Mere mention of gene or protein function is not sufficient to classify in this group. In such cases, see the other subgroups of group G06F 19/10 following this one in the scheme.
