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 invention 10 includes an input unit 11, a calculation unit 12, and a prediction unit 13. The input unit 11 is 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 unit 12 calculates the free energy of the target aptamer sequence group and the free energy of the reference aptamer sequence group. The prediction unit 13 compares 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 virt…
