  • Patent number: 7912652
    Abstract: The present teachings disclose methods for evaluation of sequence information to characterize putative heterozygous indel mutations. The mutation analysis methods utilize sequence and trace information to identify mixed-base presence resulting from allelic differences. These methods may be applied to identify and resolve single nucleotide polymorphisms, insertions, deletions, and other mutational events.

  • Publication number: 20100094563
    Abstract: The present teachings disclose a method for evaluation of a polynucleotide sequence using a consensus-based analysis approach. The sequence analysis method utilizes quality values for a plurality of aligned sequence fragments to identify consensus basecalls and calculate associated consensus quality values. The disclosed method is applicable to resolution of single nucleotide polymorphisms, mixed-based sequences, heterozygous allelic variants, and heterogeneous polynucleotide samples.

  • Publication number: 20100017146
    Abstract: An automated system for evaluating biological samples which includes a centralized registry that contains protocols and configuration information for both instruments and analysis applications. The registry provides for improved automation of biological process runs using an autoanalysis applications manager component or daemon, which accesses and transmits the appropriate protocol and configuration information to selected instruments and/or applications. This information is used to instruct data capture by the biological instruments and direct the analysis of the data by the analysis applications.
