  • Methods and systems for determining and displaying pedigrees
    Patent number: 11514627
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments concern methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products for determining and displaying pedigrees based on IBD data. Some implementations use a probabilistic relationship model to obtain various likelihoods of various potential relationships based on pairwise IBD data and pairwise age data. Some implementations build large pedigrees by combining smaller pedigrees. Some implementations display pedigree graphs with various features that are informative and easy to understand.

  • PHASE-AWARE DETERMINATION OF IDENTITY-BY-DESCENT DNA SEGMENTS
    Publication number: 20210193257
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments concern methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products for estimating IBD segments. Some implementations use a templated positional Burrows-Wheeler transform (PBWT) technique and a phase switch error heuristic to correct genotyping errors and phase switch errors to make fast and accurate phase aware IBD estimates. In some implementations a templated PBWT technique and a probabilistic hidden Markov model (HMM) are used to correct genotyping errors and phase switch errors.
