  • Patent number: 11749381
    Abstract: A method for identifying a pathogen contained in a metagenomic sample and for identifying pathogenic markers in the genome of the pathogen includes: processing the sample to extract DNA from pathogens, sequencing the extracted DNA, thereby producing a set of reads, comparing the reads to a database of genomes of known pathogens to assign reads to the pathogens; producing a pool of reads and assembling them to produce contigs, comparing the contigs to a second database of markers to check whether they contain a marker. The method further includes the step of comparing the reads to the second database to assign reads to the markers, a read being assigned to a marker if it falls entirely into or is astride the marker, and the pool also includes the reads assigned to the markers, the contigs thereby being assembled from reads assigned to a pathogen and reads assigned to markers.

  • 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.
