  • Patent number: 12100487
    Abstract: Determining relative relationships of people who share a common ancestor within at least a threshold number of generations includes: receiving recombinable deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence information of a first user and recombinable DNA sequence information of a plurality of users; processing, using one or more computer processors, the recombinable DNA sequence information of the plurality of users in parallel; determining, based at least in part on a result of processing the recombinable DNA information of the plurality of users in parallel, a predicted degree of relationship between the first user and a user among the plurality of users, the predicted degree of relative relationship corresponding to a number of generations within which the first user and the second user share a common ancestor.

  • Patent number: 12073495
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments concern methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products for determining and displaying pedigrees based on IBD data. Some implementations use a probabilistic relationship model to obtain various likelihoods of various potential relationships based on pairwise IBD data and pairwise age data. Some implementations build large pedigrees by combining smaller pedigrees. Some implementations display pedigree graphs with various features that are informative and easy to understand.

  • Patent number: 12046327
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to identity-by-descent (IBD) relatedness based on focal and reference segments. An example method includes determining, by a services platform based on personal information of a focal individual, a focal string. The method also includes retrieving, by the services platform from a reference database, a reference string of a reference individual. Additionally, the method includes computationally identifying, by the services platform, IBD segments between the focal string and the reference string. Further, the method includes determining, by the services platform and based on the merged set of IBD segments, a degree of relatedness between the focal individual and the reference individual. In addition, the method includes providing, by the services platform, access to the degree of relatedness via a user interface.
