Abstract: Disclosed is an interactive genome browser executing within a web browser application, configured to display patient genetic data and additional genetic data tracks which are aligned by base pair. Additional tracks may include public data, community data, private data, sequence gaps, and additional genetic tests or probes which are available. Tests or probes may be ordered by selecting them from a test or probe track. Data in a genetic information database may also be searched using the interactive genome browser. Analyzed patient data may be published and made available to a community of users, which may communicate with one another.

Abstract: Techniques for allowing doctors and clinicians to upload genetic data associated with patients for comparison with previously-uploaded genetic data associated with other patients are described herein. These techniques may also allow doctors and clinicians to create notations associated with uploaded patient data. Both the previously-uploaded data as well as the created notations may be used by doctors and clinicians in attempting to diagnosis patients. That is, these techniques allow previously-acquired knowledge to be widely shared for the future benefit in attempting to detect genetic syndromes.

Abstract: Multiplex (+/?) stranded analyses, such as array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), are provided for detecting chromosomal rearrangements associated with cancer and other diseases. For example, an illustrative multiplex array for CGH includes discrete plus (+) strand and minus (?) strand DNA probes, complementary to each other but separable on the CGH array. The minus (?) strand DNA probes recover diagnostic information lost to conventional microarrays, since many genes transcribe from the minus (?) strand. In an illustrative system, patient and control DNA samples are prepared for CGH by amplification and labeling using comprehensive primers that generate both plus (+) strands and minus (?) strands of DNA in the samples. The breakpoints of a translocated chromosome may be detected on a multiplex microarray by DNA probes of one polarity, while DNA copy number changes associated with the translocation region may be detected by corresponding DNA probes of the complementary polarity.
