  • Publication number: 20200194101
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides computer-implemented methods for annotating a query nucleic acid sequence. Methods of the present disclosure provide for the accurate annotation of nucleic acid sequences having functional or other important implications. Subject methods also provide for generating an assembly for longer DNA sequences that comprise shorter annotated sequences. Also provided are methods for monitoring the genetic material within a defined physical location. Such methods may find use in a variety of applications, for example, monitoring the spread of a pandemic, monitoring the prevalence of antibiotic resistance, provide guidance in making clinical decisions, and others. Also provided are related systems and non-transitory computer-readable recording media.

  • Patent number: 7043756
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that detects denial-of-service attacks by using an execution profile for a kernel of a server computer system. The system produces a run-time execution profile by gathering statistics related to execution of a protocol stack within the kernel, wherein the protocol stack processes packets received from client computer systems. Next, the system compares the run-time execution profile with a normal execution profile, wherein the normal execution profile is representative of execution when the server is not subject to a denial-of-service attack. If the run-time execution profile deviates from the normal execution profile, the system indicates that a denial-of-service attack is taking place.
