Patent number: 8036834Abstract: The invention provides a method of determining a comparative expression profile in an individual by comparing the expression levels of a sample of molecules in a population of molecules in a specimen from the individual with a health-associated reference expression region of the sample of molecules, wherein expression levels within the health-associated reference expression region indicate a reference expression profile and wherein expression levels outside the health-associated reference expression region indicate a perturbed expression profile. The invention also provides methods of diagnosing a disease or a health state in an individual by comparing the expression level of a sample of molecules in a specimen from the individual with a health-associated reference expression region of the sample of molecules.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2009Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Institute for Systems BiologyInventors: Leroy Hood, Andrew F. Siegel

Patent number: 7623969Abstract: The invention provides a method for assigning a cellular function to a component of a biochemical system. The method involves (a) determining a multidimensional shape space for one or more components of a biochemical system in a reference state; (b) perturbing a component within said biochemical system; (c) determining a perturbed multidimensional shape space for one or more components of a pathway in said perturbed biochemical system, and (d) identifying a multidimensional coordinate point corresponding to a component of said perturbed pathway altered between reference and perturbed multidimensional shape spaces, said identified component being assigned a cellular function of said perturbed pathway.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2002Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: The Institute for Systems BiologyInventors: Leroy E. Hood, Andrew F. Siegel, Trey E. Ideker

Patent number: 6959304Abstract: The invention is directed towards method and apparatus for representing multidimensional data. Some embodiments of the invention provide a two-layered data structure to store multidimensional data tuples that are defined in a multidimensional data space. These embodiments initially divide the multidimensional data space into a number of data regions, and create a data structure to represent this division. For each data region, these embodiments then create a hierarchical data structure to store the data tuples within each region. In some of these embodiments, the multidimensional data tuples are spatial data tuples that represent spatial or geometric objects, such as points, lines, polygons, regions, surfaces, volumes, etc. For instance, some embodiments use the two-layered data structure of the invention to store data relating to geometric objects (such as rectangles) that represent interconnect lines of an IC in an IC design layout.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2002Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Inventors: Steven Teig, Tom Kronmiller, Andrew F.
