The algorithm appears to be a complex mathematical formula which can be used to locate Evolved Humans. Mohinder tells Eden that he believes his father was working on such a formula. Later, Eden discovers a USB flash drive half-buried in the gravel of the lizard Mohinder's terrarium. Mohinder plugs it into his father's laptop and the algorithm appears.
Initially excited by the discovery, Mohinder has become frustrated by his inability to understand the algorithm, which he now believes to be gibberish.
Within the DNA base-pair sequences of which the algorithm is composed, blank areas marked with dashes form the image of the mysterious symbol.
In his father's office at Chennai University, Mohinder discovers the algorithm scrolling across the computer screen.
In the episode Homecoming, as the algorithm is still scrolling on the computer screen, the prompt "Do You Want to Quit?" appears. Ultimately, Mohinder selects "No", and is asked for a password. After a few tries, he enters "Shanti", his dead sister's name. At once, the algorithm vanishes, and is replaced by a list of identified evolved humans.
Notes
The entire algorithm seems to be made up DNA pase pairs; namely (A) adenine, (T) thymine, (C) cytosine, and (G) guanine.
