Abstract
A time-ordered series of measurements of a polymer made during translocation of the polymer through a Nanopore are analysed. The measurements are dependent on the identity of k-mers in the Nanopore, a k-mer bring k polymer units of the polymer, where k is a positive integer. The method involves deriving, from the series of measurements, a feature vector of time-ordered features representing characteristics of the measurements; and determining similarity between the derived feature vector and at least one other feature vector.
