  • Patent number: 11787861
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides binding proteins, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments, which specifically bind to human CD200R1 receptor protein (hu-CD200R1) and are capable of decreasing, inhibiting, and/or fully-blocking immune regulatory effects mediated by hu-CD200R1.

  • Patent number: 11776662
    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: 11735323
    Abstract: A method, software, database and system for attribute partner identification and social network based attribute analysis are presented in which attribute profiles associated with individuals can be compared and potential partners identified. Connections can be formed within social networks based on analysis of genetic and non-genetic data. Degrees of attribute separation (genetic and non-genetic) can be utilized to analyze relationships and to identify individuals who might benefit from being connected.

  • Publication number: 20230183343
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides binding proteins, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments, which specifically bind to human CD96 receptor protein (hu-CD96) and are capable of decreasing, inhibiting, and/or fully-blocking immune regulatory effects mediated by hu-CD96. The present disclosure also provides methods of using the antibodies (and compositions thereof) to treat diseases and conditions responsive to decreasing, inhibiting and/or blocking immune regulatory function or activity mediated by CD96 binding to CD155, including effects arising from CD96 interactions with CD226 and/or TIGIT.

  • Patent number: 11581096
    Abstract: A system and method are presented in which known genetic attributes associated with a condition are used to seed the determination of additional attributes which are associated with the condition. Based on the learning, the additional attributes (genetic, behavioral, or both) provide for an increased correlation between the combined attributes and the condition. For behavioral attributes, a measure of the impact of the behavioral attribute on the risk of the condition can be transmitted to another device or system.
