    Abstract: The use of sensory G protein-coupled receptors that recognize chemical sensants, parti-cularly those involving olfactory and taste receptors; polypeptide fragments and mutants thereof; classes of such receptors; polynucleotides encoding such receptors, fragments and mutants thereof, and representatives of receptor classes; genetic vectors including such polynucleotides; and cells and non-human organisms engineered to express such receptor complexes, fragments and mutants of an olfactory or taste receptor, and representatives of receptor classes to simulate sensory perception of odorants and tastants is described. The use of such products as a biosensor or a component thereof to detect, identify, measure, or otherwise process the event of binding between the receptor and its cognate ligand (i.e., chemical sensant) is also described. The invention has application, for example, in the design and formulation of odorant and tastant compositions.

    Abstract: A computer system for sequencing nucleic acids is provided. The computer system may be used for de novo sequencing of a nucleic acid sequence by analyzing the fluorescence intensities of hybridized nucleic acid probes on biological chips. The probes with the highest intensities are utilized to sequence the nucleic acid and related probes are analyzed to increase the accuracy of nucleic acid sequencing. The sequence of the nucleic acid sequence may be determined from hybridization intensities that do not allow identification of perfectly complementary probes.
