Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for non-volatile storage include a well activation device operable to modify one or more wells from a plurality of wells of a flow cell to provide a set of readable wells. Readable wells are configured to allow exposure of a well to substances from nucleotide sequencing fluids, and prevent exposure to other substances and fluids, such as nucleotide synthesizing fluids. The well activation device may also modify wells to provide a set of writeable wells. This set of wells is configured to allow exposure to the nucleotide synthesizing fluids and substances; and prevent exposure to the nucleotide sequencing fluids and substances. There may also be provisions made for risk mitigation for data errors such as generating commands to write specified data to a nucleotide sequence associated with a particular location in a storage device, reading the nucleotide sequence and performing a comparison.

Abstract: The technology disclosed presents a deep learning-based framework, which identifies sequence patterns that cause sequence-specific errors (SSEs). Systems and methods train a variant filter on large-scale variant data to learn causal dependencies between sequence patterns and false variant calls. The variant filter has a hierarchical structure built on deep neural networks such as convolutional neural networks and fully-connected neural networks. Systems and methods implement a simulation that uses the variant filter to test known sequence patterns for their effect on variant filtering. The premise of the simulation is as follows: when a pair of a repeat pattern under test and a called variant is fed to the variant filter as part of a simulated input sequence and the variant filter classifies the called variant as a false variant call, then the repeat pattern is considered to have caused the false variant call and identified as SSE-causing.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to artificial intelligence-based determination of analyte data for base calling. In particular, the technology disclosed uses input image data that is derived from a sequence of images. Each image in the sequence of images represents an imaged region and depicts intensity emissions indicative of one or more analytes and a surrounding background of the intensity emissions at a respective one of a plurality of sequencing cycles of a sequencing run. The input image data comprises image patches extracted from each image in the sequence of images. The input image data is processed through a neural network to generate an alternative representation of the input image data. The alternative representation is processed through an output layer to generate an output indicating properties of respective portions of the imaged region.
