Abstract
The present invention provides a prediction device, a prediction method, a program, and a recording medium, with which whether or not desired aptamer sequences are enriched can be predicted easily. The prediction device of the present inventionincludes an input unit, a calculation unit, and a prediction unit. The input unitis a unit through which sequence information on a target aptamer sequence group including selected aptamers in a target pool and a reference aptamer sequence group including reference aptamer sequences are inputted. The calculation unitcalculates the free energy of the target aptamer sequence group and the free energy of the reference aptamer sequence group. The prediction unitcompares the free energy of these sequence groups, and predicts that the target pool is an enriched pool when the free energy of the target aptamer sequence group is lower than the free energy of the reference aptamer sequence group. The reference aptamer sequence group is a candidate aptamer sequence group including a plurality of candidate aptamer sequences or a virtual aptamer sequence group that is derived from the target aptamer sequence group and includes virtual aptamer sequences having the same base composition as the target aptamer sequence group.
