Publication number: 20250069714Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for determining microsatellite instability. The techniques include generating a reference sample dataset representative of or mimicing a hypothetical matched sample for an individual sample of interest. The reference sample dataset may be generated from a set of reference normal samples that are not matched to the sample of interest. For samples of interest lacking a matched sample, the reference sample dataset may be used to determine microsatellite instability and to provide an indication of a presence, absence, or degree of microsatellite instability of the sample of interest. The reference sample dataset may be generated such that individual microsatelliate regions associated with a high degree of variability between ethnic groups are filtered out, masked, or otherwise not considered.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2024Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: Shile Zhang, Alex S.

Patent number: 12204740Abstract: An integrated approach is provided to running web applications with various compatibilities that do not require third-party extensions or sacrifice user experience. When a page of an application incompatible with a first browser is to be executed, an instance of a second browser with which the page is compatible is separately invoked and/or executed without opening a window for that second browser. Instead, the second browser opens a page within the window of the first browser. Moreover, rendering and/or contextual information for a page opened via the second browser is provided to the first browser. Such information is utilized by the first browser to provide a visual experience to the user in which the web page is being hosted by the first browser, even though it is in fact being hosted by the second browser.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2022Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Adrian Bogdan Guta, Joshua P.
