  • Patent number: 10748643
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing first and second strings against a ground truth string are provided. A construct representing a plurality of components is obtained, each component for a different portion of the truth string. The construct comprises a plurality of measurement string sampling pools each having an identifier and a corresponding plurality of measurement samplings corresponding to one or two of the components. Each sampling has the identifier and a portion of the first or second string. Samplings are assigned to first, second or third classes when coding a portion of the first string, second string, or both the first and second string. First and second positions are tested for sequence events by calculating a plurality of sequence event models using assumptions on the components having samplings encompassing the first and second positions and class assignments. These assumptions are updated using the calculated models and the models are recalculated.

  • Patent number: 10650912
    Abstract: A system for providing structural variation or phasing information is provided. The system accesses a nucleic acid sequence dataset corresponding to a target nucleic acid in a sample. The dataset comprises a header, synopsis, and data section. The data section comprises a plurality of sequencing reads. Each sequencing read comprises a first portion corresponding to a subset of the target nucleic acid and a second portion that encodes an identifier for the sequencing read from a plurality of identifiers. One or more programs in the memory of the system use a microprocessor of the system to provide a haplotype visualization tool that receives a request for structural variation or phasing information from the dataset. The request is evaluated against the synopsis thereby identifying portions of the data section. Structural variation or phasing information is formatted for display in the haplotype visualization tool using the identified portions of the data section.
