  • Patent number: 11646102
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for performing secondary analyses of nucleotide sequencing data in a time-efficient manner. Some embodiments include performing a secondary analysis iteratively while sequence reads are generated by a sequencing system. Secondary analyses can encompass both alignment of sequence reads to a reference sequence (e.g., the human reference genome sequence) and utilization of this alignment to detect differences between a sample and the reference. Secondary analysis can enable detection of genetic differences, variant detection and genotyping, identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), small insertions and deletion (indels) and structural changes in the DNA, such as copy number variants (CNVs) and chromosomal rearrangements.

  • Patent number: 11640850
    Abstract: A computer system and method for sequencing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), to determine the order of the different nucleotides in a genomic sequence or sequence fragment. An alignment system employs a direct “brute force” Hamming distance calculation between a read sequence and a reference genome. The alignment system is configured to compare directly a set of DNA fragments to a reference genome in a short period, and with the higher probability of accuracy than similar comparison systems given the same number of clock cycles. Each DNA fragment is compared with a reference genome for the entire length of the latter using arrangements of memory cells for storing read sequences and inverse complements of the read sequences, shift registers for streaming the reference genome, and circuitry for calculating and summing the distance between the reference, the read sequence, and the inverse complement in parallel. Both digital and analog implementations are described.

  • Patent number: 11627710
    Abstract: Exemplary methods for identifying hybrids for use in a plant breeding pipeline are disclosed. One exemplary computer-implemented method includes accessing a data structure including data representative of a pool of hybrids and determining a prediction score for at least a portion of the hybrids included in the pool based on the data included in the data structure. The prediction score is indicative of a probability of selection and/or a probability of success of the hybrid based on historical data. The method further includes selecting a group of hybrids from the pool based on the prediction score, identifying a set of hybrids, from the group of hybrids, based on an expected performance of the set of hybrids and/or one or more factors associated with the hybrids and/or lines making up the hybrids, and also directing the set of hybrids to a further iteration or different phase in the breeding pipeline.

  • Patent number: 11589760
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to physiological monitoring, and more particularly to feature set optimization for classification of physiological signal. In one embodiment, a method for physiological monitoring includes identifying clean physiological signal training set from an input physiological signal based on a Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) of segments associated with the physiological signal. An optimal features set is extracted from a clean physiological signal training set based on a Maximum Consistency and Maximum Dominance (MCMD) property associated with the optimal feature set that strictly optimizes on the objective function, the conditional likelihood maximization over different selection criteria such that diverse properties of different selection parameters are captured and achieves Pareto-optimality. The input physiological signal is classified into normal signal components and abnormal signal components using the optimal features set.
