  • Patent number: 11211147
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and software are provided for estimating a circulating tumor fraction for a test subject. Sequence reads are obtained from a panel-enriched sequencing reaction, including sequences for a first plurality of cfDNA fragments corresponding to probe sequences and a second plurality of cfDNA fragments not corresponding to probe sequences. Bin-level coverage ratios are determined from the sequences. Segments are formed by grouping adjacent bins based on similar coverage ratios and segment-level coverage ratios are determined based on bin-level coverage ratios for bins in the segment. For each simulated circulating tumor fraction in a plurality of circulating tumor fractions, segments are fitted to an integer copy state by identifying the integer copy state that best matches the segment-level coverage ratio.

  • Patent number: 11211144
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and software are provided for validating a copy number variation in a test subject. A first dataset is obtained comprising bin-level sequence ratios, segment-level sequence ratios and segment-level measures of dispersion. Bins representing regions of a human reference genome are determined from sequencing cell-free nucleic acids in a liquid biopsy sample and reference samples. Segments encompass subsets of adjacent bins, where segment-level sequence ratios and measures of dispersion are determined using bin-level sequence ratios. A copy number status annotation for a segment is validated by applying the first dataset to a plurality of filters comprising a measure of central tendency bin-level sequence ratio filter, a confidence filter, and a measure of central tendency-plus-deviation bin-level sequence ratio filter. When a filter is fired, the copy number status annotation of the segment is rejected; and when no filter is fired, the copy number status annotation of the segment is validated.

  • Patent number: 11189029
    Abstract: A platform is provided for generating 3D models of a tumor segmented from a series of 2D medical images and for identifying from these 3D models, radiomic features that may be used for diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment response assessment of the tumor. The radiomic features may be shape-based features, intensity-based features, textural features, and filter-based features. The radiomic features are compared to remove sufficiently redundant features, thereby producing a reduced set of radiomic features, which is then compared to separate genomic data and/or outcome data to identify clinically and biologically significant radiomic features for diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment response assessment, other applications.

  • Patent number: 11043283
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing quality control analysis. The method obtains, in electronic form, a batch dataset comprising, for each respective sample in a batch of samples, a corresponding plurality of sequence reads derived from the respective sample by targeted or whole transcriptome RNA sequencing and corresponding metadata for the respective sample.

The set of probes is assayed against a sample library, and at least i) a respective recovery rate for each probe in the set of probes, and ii) a median recovery rate for the set of probes are obtained. Modify the respective concentration of each probe that does not satisfy predetermined recovery rate threshold. Reevaluate the set of probes against the sample library. Repeat the modifying and reevaluation until the respective updated recovery rate for each probe in the updated set of probes satisfies the predetermined recovery rate threshold, thereby providing the optimized set of probes for the sample library.
