  • Patent number: 12662510
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for identifying drug compounds for targeting proteins in tissue cells. Such a method includes providing a neural network model which comprises an attention-based protein encoder and a molecular decoder. The protein encoder is pretrained in an autoencoder architecture to encode an input protein sequence into an output vector in a latent space representing proteins. The molecular decoder is pretrained in an autoencoder architecture to generate compound data, defining a compound molecule, from an input vector in a latent space representing molecules. The protein encoder and molecular decoder are coupled such that the input vector of the molecular decoder is dependent on the output vector of the protein encoder for an input protein sequence.

  • Patent number: 12642623
    Abstract: A method for generating digital setups for an orthodontic treatment path. The method includes receiving a digital 3D model of teeth, performing interproximal reduction (IPR) on the model and, after performing the IPR, generating an initial treatment path with stages including an initial setup, a final setup, and a plurality of intermediate setups. The method also includes computing IPR accessibility for each tooth at each stage of the initial treatment path, applying IPR throughout the initial treatment path based upon the computed IPR accessibility, and dividing the initial treatment path into steps of feasible motion of the teeth resulting in a final treatment path with setups corresponding with the steps. The setups can be used to make orthodontic appliances, such as clear tray aligners, for each stage of the treatment path.

  • Patent number: 12633423
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for obtaining representations of proteins and small molecule drugs for synthesis; wherein input queries into trained mixed modality protein and natural language models are augmented with relevant query-related documents. In one embodiment, the relevant query-related documents are obtained by maximum inner product search of an embedding latent vector space into which the query and the documents are projected. The top-k most relevant documents to the query are then combined with the query as input into the trained mixed modality language model. In one embodiment, the mixed modality model is an autoregressive multicapitate transformer whose decoder output heads correspond to the represented modalities. The method returns mixed modality output representations of proteins or small molecule drugs for synthesis or manufacture.

  • Patent number: 12584175
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for increasing the fidelity of measured genetic data, for making allele calls, and for determining the state of aneuploidy, in one or a small set of cells, or from fragmentary DNA, where a limited quantity of genetic data is available. Poorly or incorrectly measured base pairs, missing alleles and missing regions are reconstructed using expected similarities between the target genome and the genome of genetically related individuals. In accordance with one embodiment, incomplete genetic data from an embryonic cell are reconstructed at a plurality of loci using the more complete genetic data from a larger sample of diploid cells from one or both parents, with or without haploid genetic data from one or both parents. In another embodiment, the chromosome copy number can be determined from the measured genetic data, with or without genetic information from one or both parents.

  • Patent number: 12580080
    Abstract: A plasma piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) combination for early diagnosis of gastric cancer and application thereof are provided. Based on the plasma piRNA expression profile of the Chinese population, the present invention obtains a plasma piRNA combination for early diagnosis of gastric cancer, and establishes an early diagnosis model for gastric cancer based on the plasma piRNA combination. The model can predict the incidence risk of gastric cancer with relatively high accuracy, which helps to reduce the cost of detection. At the same time, the present invention uses a Lasso Logistic regression model, which greatly reduces the number of variables included in the model and facilitates the application and popularization of the model.
