    Abstract: Provided is a method for determining whether cells or cell groups that have a possibility of being derived from a plurality of persons are derived from the same person, or unrelated persons, or a parent and a child, or persons in a blood relationship, the method including: a step of acquiring genotypic data for gene polymorphism sites of the cells or cell groups and weighting the data with a preset weight distribution, to acquire weighted genotypic data; and a step of using the weighted genotypic data to determine whether the cells or cell groups are derived from the same person, or unrelated persons, or a parent and a child, or persons in a blood relationship, in which the preset weight distribution is set by mapping of a measured apparent genotype and a true genotype with respect to the gene polymorphism sites, and the method being capable of determining, with high accuracy, whether the cells or cell groups are derived from the same person, or unrelated persons, or a parent and a child, or persons in a blood relationship, even in a case where errors due to DNA amplification and sequencing are large and errors frequently occur in thus obtained polymorphism information of genes in genetic analysis for a small amount of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

    Abstract: A processor of an image processing device acquires a medical image including a lesion region, and causes a determiner to perform a determination process of determining a type of a lesion on the basis of the medical image. A first determination process is a process of determining whether the type belongs to a first group including a first type classified as a first category and a second type classified as a second category or a second group including a third type classified as the second category. A second determination process is a process of determining whether the type is the first type or the second type. The processor outputs a first signal for specifying whether the type is classified as the first category or the second category on the basis of a determination result of the first determination process and a determination result of the second determination process.

    Abstract: Provided is a design method for dividing primer pairs into reaction containers, the design method showing an optimum division example. The design method for dividing primer pairs into reaction containers has a design step of, for a plurality of target nucleic acids, designing a plurality of primer pairs each composed of two types of primers, an evaluation step of evaluating non-specific amplification inducibility between the primer pairs, and an assignment step of performing an assignment to the reaction containers, based on the non-specific amplification inducibility, such that primer pairs having the non-specific amplification inducibility are not present in the same reaction container. The assignment step has a graph generation step of generating a graph having the primer pairs as vertices and non-specific amplification inducibility as an edge or a data structure equivalent to the graph, a coloring step of applying a solution to a graph coloring problem or the like to the graph to perform coloring such that the vertices adjacent to each other have different colors, and an association step of associating the plurality of colors with the reaction containers to associate the primer pair with the reaction containers of the corresponding colors.
