    Mining Large Quantities of Data (~250 million vectors)

    Cool, thanks for the reply. What you're saying about encoding the bases using just 2 bits makes sense. I have some questions, though, regarding the use of C/C++ in this case: I would be importing a text file of 0,1,2,3 sequences. Would I have to do anything special to FORCE it to encode...

    Mining Large Quantities of Data (~250 million vectors)

    Homework Statement I am given the first human chromosome as a long list of bases: ATGCCTGC... (I have N bases) I have to divide the the chromosome into subsequences of length L, so subsequences are as follows: From base 1 to base L From base 2 to base L+1 From base 3 to base L+2 ... From base...
