[[Image:TheAlgorithm.jpg|thumb|right|A mysterious algorithm, believed by [[Mohinder]] to be a key to locating [[:Category:Evolved Humans|Evolved Humans]].]]

'''The algorithm''' appears to be a complex mathematical formula which can be used to locate [[:Category:Evolved Humans|Evolved Humans]]. [[Mohinder]] tells [[Eden]] that he believes [[Chandra Suresh|his father]] was working on such a formula. Later, [[Eden]] discovers a USB flash drive half-buried in the gravel of the [[Mohinder the lizard|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 [[The Symbol|symbol]].

In his father's office at [[Chennai University]], Mohinder discovers the algorithm scrolling across the computer screen.

In the episode [[Episode:Homecoming|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 [[Shanti Suresh|sister's]] name. At once, the algorithm vanishes, and is replaced by a [[The List|list]] of identified evolved humans.

==Notes==
The entire algorithm seems to be made up of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_pair DNA pase pairs]; namely (A) adenine, (T) thymine, (C) cytosine, and (G) guanine, with dashes (-) standing in for missing sequences.
