Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for identifying candidate sequences for genotyping a genomic sample comprises obtaining a plurality of sequence reads mapping to a genomic region of interest. The plurality of sequence reads are assembled into a directed acyclic graph (DAG) comprising a plurality of branch sites representing variation present in the set of sequence reads, each branch site comprising two or more branches. A path through the DAG comprises a set of successive branches over two or more branch sites and represents a possible candidate sequence of the genomic sample. One or more paths through the DAG are ranked by calculating scores for one or more branch sites, wherein the calculated score comprises a number of sequence reads that span multiple branch sites in a given path. At least one path is selected as a candidate sequence based at least in part on its rank.
Abstract: Disclosed is a self-incompatible dihaploid potato and a production method therefor, and a hybrid potato and a seed production method therefor. The production method includes the following steps: haploid-inducing a diploid potato carrying one or more heterozygous self-compatibility genes by a haploid induction line, and screening haploid mutants; selecting a haploid mutant which does not contain any self-compatible gene; and performing chromosome doubling on the haploid mutant which does not contain any self-compatibility gene to obtain a self-incompatible dihaploid potato line. The self-incompatible dihaploid potato is used as a female parent for seed production, such that emasculation may be avoided, hybrids do not bear fruits, and the yield of the potato is increased.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates in some aspects to recombinant Bacillus phage AP50 polymerases, modified AP50 polymerases, and compositions thereof. Also provided are methods of using the recombinant and/or modified AP50 polymerases for nucleic acid amplification (e.g., rolling circle amplification). In some aspects, the compositions and methods disclosed herein provide more robust amplification (e.g., RCA) reactions for improved in vitro and in situ analysis.
Abstract: The technology relates in part to methods of selecting for and/or treating subjects having cancer, where the subjects are identified as having at least one genetic structural variant that renders them suitable candidates for a treatment method that includes the administration of at least one homologous recombination deficient direct therapy, such as an inhibitor of a polyadenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for nucleic acid sequencing. Such systems and methods may achieve context-independent incorporation, have reduced context-dependence or have context-dependence that is amenable to calibration and modeling. Such systems and methods may also reduce misincorporation.
Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for analyzing viruses by representing viral genetic diversity with a directed acyclic graph (DAG), which allows genetic sequencing technology to detect rare variations and represent otherwise difficult-to-document diversity within a sample. Additionally, a host-specific sequence DAG can be used to effectively segregate viral nucleic acid sequence reads from host sequence reads when a sample from a host is subject to sequencing. Known viral genomes can be represented using a viral reference DAG and the viral sequence reads from the sample can be compared to viral DAG to identify viral species or strains from which the reads were derived. Where the viral sequence reads indicate great genetic diversity in the virus that was infecting the host, those reads can be assembled into a DAG that itself properly represents that diversity.
Abstract: Disclosed are extended and/or branched oligonucleotide capture probe assemblies for use in spatial transcriptomics systems, and methods for making the capture probe assemblies.
Abstract: Provided are devices and methods for capturing template sample nucleic acids in a spatially specific manner that is coordinated with the original location of the templates in a tissue sample.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying and using hybrid/capture probes are provided. cDNA sequences from poly-adenylated mRNA are obtained. Each cDNA sequence in a first subset maps to a gene in a plurality of genes. Each cDNA sequence in a second subset maps to a reference genome portion not represented by the plurality of genes. Each gene has a corresponding plurality of transcripts. The cDNA sequences are exposed to at least 2×103 nucleic acid baits between K1 and K2 residues long, forming nucleic acid bait—sequence read complexes. Each nucleic acid bait that hybridizes to a cDNA sequence mapping to a gene selectively hybridizes to a first subset or another subset of transcripts corresponding to the gene. Each transcript of each gene is hybridizable to a nucleic acid bait in the at least 2×103 nucleic acid baits. The nucleic acid bait—sequence read complexes are captured and analyzed.
