  • Publication number: 20200411138
    Abstract: The redundancy in genomic sequence data is exploited by compressing sequence data in such a way as to allow direct computation on the compressed data using methods that are referred to herein as “compressive” algorithms. This approach reduces the task of computing on many similar genomes to only slightly more than that of operating on just one. In this approach, the redundancy among genomes is translated into computational acceleration by storing genomes in a compressed format that respects the structure of similarities and differences important to analysis. Specifically, these differences are the nucleotide substitutions, insertions, deletions, and rearrangements introduced by evolution. Once such a compressed library has been created, analysis is performed on it in time proportional to its compressed size, rather than having to reconstruct the full data set every time one wishes to query it.

  • Publication number: 20200303036
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide methods, systems, and computer program products that utilize long-range phase information to detect subtle chromosome imbalances in genotype data. Clonal expansions result from mutation followed by selective proliferation, and the embodiments disclosed herein may be used to somatic structural variant events (SVs) predictive or diagnostic of cancer and other diseases.
