    This document discusses different types of character data that can be analyzed and visualized in BioNumerics. It describes character data as anything that can be represented numerically, including binary data, numerical values, categorical data, and allele data. Character data can come from a variety of sources like phenotypic test panels, DNA arrays, and can be imported in different file formats. The document states that each type of character data has dedicated analysis methods and that numerical values can be converted to binary data.

    Character data in
    BioNumerics...

    Character data = anything that can be


    represented by a set of numbers

    Spectrophotometric and
    chromatographic profiles
    with known peaks

    Phenotypic test panels

    MLVA/VNTR, MLST,
    Spa repeats

    Gene chips and

    There are different classifications of


    character data
    • Data type:
    Binary: 10100111010011001110…

    yellow, brown, green ...
    allele 1, allele 2, allele 3, ...
    3 repeats, 5 repeats, 12 repeats, ...

    • Data set:
    Closed: number of characters is fixed.
    Example: API tests.

    Open: number of characters may


    grow by adding new entries.
    Example: Fatty acid analysis
