  • Single molecule sequencing and unique molecular identifiers to characterize nucleic acid sequences
    Patent number: 11987841
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method and/or system (e.g., for improved single molecule sequencing, etc.) can include preparing a set of unique molecular identifier (UMI)-based molecules associated with a set of target nucleic acid sequences; facilitating generation of (e.g., generating, etc.) a set of tagged nucleic acid molecules based on the set of UMI-based molecules and a set of nucleic acid molecules corresponding to (e.g., including, etc.) the set of target nucleic acid sequences; and/or facilitating (e.g., performing, etc.) single molecule sequencing with the set of tagged nucleic acid molecules.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for characterization for female reproductive system-related conditions associated with microorganisms
    Patent number: 11001900
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method and/or system for characterizing one or more female reproductive system-related conditions can include determining a microorganism dataset associated with a set of subjects; and/or performing a characterization process associated with the one or more female reproductive system-related conditions, based on the microorganism dataset, where performing the characterization process can additionally or alternatively include performing a female reproductive system-related characterization process for the one or more female reproductive system-related conditions, and/or determining one or more therapies.
