Phenotypic Integrated Social Search Database and Method

Abstract

The present invention provides methods, databases and devices for establishing the first integration of social behavior with biological phenotypic measurements. In one embodiment, a method for correlating data from a sample database and a survey database is provided. The method comprises obtaining a sample comprising biological molecules from an individual, simultaneously obtaining survey data from the individual, storing the survey data in the survey database, analyzing the sample of biological molecules to determine the composition of biological molecules, storing the data from the composition in the sample database, and correlating the data from the sample database to the data from the survey database.

1 - 37 . (canceled) 
     
     
         38 . A method for predicting an individual's behavior or preferences with correlated data consisting of composition data from a sample database and survey data from a survey database,
 said survey database contains a plurality of sets of survey data from a plurality of individuals, said sample database contains composition data from samples of biological molecules which include protein obtained from said plurality of individuals, and said from the survey database to provide behavior to phenotype matches,   the method comprising:   an individual obtaining a sample comprising biological molecules including protein from himself/herself, and   analyzing the biological molecules including protein in the sample with a device to generate composition data of the individual;   correlating the individual's composition data to survey data from said survey database to generate a correlation between the individual's composition data and the survey data from said survey database; and   predicting behavior or preference of the individual based on the correlation between the composition data and the survey data in the survey database.   
     
     
         39 - 42 . (canceled) 
     
     
         43 . The method of  claim 38 , wherein the samples are selected from the group consisting of urine, stool, blood, the individual's breath, human cells, hair, fingernails, saliva, mucus, and tears, and
 the survey data comprises answers to one or more questions about each of the plurality of individuals' behavior, preferences, mood, senses, sensation, mental state, psychological state, physical state, or emotional state.   
     
     
         44 . The method of  claim 43 , wherein the biological molecules further comprise at least one of a small molecule, a metabolite, a peptide, a hormone, and a nucleic acid. 
     
     
         45 . The method of  claim 38 , wherein the sample is urine and more than one up to and including 3000 types of proteins are assayed. 
     
     
         46 . The method of  claim 38 , wherein the sample is urine and 5 to 3000 types of proteins are assayed. 
     
     
         47 . The method of  claim 38 , wherein the survey data includes data from at least on physiological measurement selected from the group consisting of heart rate, galvanic response, body temperature, and pupil dilation. 
     
     
         48 . The method of  claim 38 , wherein the survey data comprises behavioral states measured with queries. 
     
     
         49 . The method of  claim 48 , wherein the survey data and composition data are continually collected and integrated into the database, and the database evolves and the behavior to phenotype matches are ranked, and the ranking is modified over time as new information is input into the database. 
     
     
         50 . The method of  claim 38 , wherein the device comprises a detection chip having nucleic acids immobilized thereon. 
     
     
         51 . The method of  claim 50 , wherein the analyzing step comprises the individual exposing the detection chip to a body gas. 
     
     
         52 . The method of  claim 38 , wherein the device comprises a carbon nanotube transistor. 
     
     
         53 . The method of  claim 52 , wherein the carbon nanotube device produces one or more signals associated with protein binding events. 
     
     
         54 . The method of  claim 38 , wherein one or more proteins of said protein the sample are assayed to determine a presence of the protein in the sample. 
     
     
         55 . The method of  claim 54 , wherein the one or more proteins are assayed to quantify the one or more proteins in the sample. 
     
     
         56 . The method of  claim 54 , further comprising a step of determining DNA or RNA molecules corresponding to said one or more proteins and assaying said determined DNA or RNA molecules to provide the individual's composition data. 
     
     
         57 . The method of  claim 38 , further comprising a step of modifying or evolving said behavior to phenotype matches over time as new information is input into the survey and/or composition databases. 
     
     
         58 . The method of  claim 57 , further comprising a step of eliminating behavioral data from said survey database that is not correlated with a phenotype.
