  • Publication number: 20230295741
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure includes methods to quantify methylation in a DNA sample, where the method includes treating the sample to encode the presence or absence of DNA methylation, adding to the sample a set of synthetic molecules e.g., quality control template (QCT) molecules), generating a co-amplification mixture, sequencing the co-amplification mixture, determining a number of methylated molecules in the sample based on the number of methylated reads from the sample and a number of reads from the set of synthetic molecules.

  • Patent number: 11629381
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method and/or system can include generating a set of quality control template (QCT) molecules; determining a set of QCT sequence read clusters based on the set of QCT molecules, such as based on variation regions of the set of QCT molecules; and based on the set of QCT sequence read clusters, determining a sequencing-related parameter, such as a contamination parameter and/or molecule count parameter, associated with the at least one of sequencing library preparation and sequencing.

  • Patent number: 11519024
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method and/or system can include generating a co-amplified mixture based on co-amplifying a set of nucleic acid molecules (e.g., cell-free nucleic acids, etc.) from the biological sample, wherein the set of nucleic acid molecules includes a genomic region of interest associated with the medical condition; and a homologous native genomic region with partial sequence similarity to the genomic region of interest; sequencing the co-amplified mixture; determining an abundance metric for the genomic region of interest and an abundance metric for the homologous native genomic region; and/or facilitating the characterization of the medical condition based on the abundance metric for the genomic region of interest and the abundance metric for the homologous native genomic region.

  • Publication number: 20200040380
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method for accurate determination of biological target abundance can include generating a first set of molecules associated with a target sequence, where the first set of molecules includes a first set of dilution tags associated with a relative concentration profile; generating a second set of molecules including a second set of dilution tags associated with the first set of dilution tags; generating a dilution tagged mixture; amplifying the subsets of dilution tagged genetic targets using the second set of molecules; generating a modified dilution tagged mixture from the amplified subsets; determining, for the biological sample, a count of the distinct molecules including the target sequence; and/or determining, for the biological sample, an assessment of relative concentrations distinct species, such as over a vast dynamic range.
