  • Real-time interbank transactions systems and methods
    Patent number: 11972402
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for performing a peer-to-peer (P2P) transfer by a third-party, where a method includes receiving transfer information and a first token including sender information of a sender and a second token including receiver information of a receiver, and validating the first token and the second token based on verifying both the sender and the receiver are registered with the real-time payment system. The method includes processing the first token and the second token based on determining a sender endpoint, a receiver endpoint, and a demand deposit account of the sender, and transmitting a request for a guarantee, the request for the guarantee including the sender endpoint and the demand deposit account of the sender. The method includes receiving an issued guarantee, transferring funds based on the transfer information, the first token, and the second token, and transmitting a transfer confirmation.

  • Accelerating identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms and alignment of clones in genomic sequencing
    Patent number: 8367322
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of assembling genomic maps of an organism's DNA or portions thereof. A library of an organism's DNA is provided where the individual genomic segments or sequences are found on more than one clone in the library. Representations of the genome are created, and nucleic acid sequence information is generated from the representations. The sequence information is analyzed to determine clone overlap from a representation. The clone overlap and sequence information from different representations is combined to assemble a genomic map of the organism. Once the genomic map is obtained, genomic sequence information from multiple individuals can be applied to the map and compared with one another to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms.
