  • Patent number: 11914036
    Abstract: One example provides a method of operating a time-of-flight camera system comprising an illumination source and an image sensor. The method comprises operating the illumination source and the image sensor to control a plurality of integration cycles and a plurality of readout cycles. In each integration cycle, the method comprises performing a plurality of pulse width modulated (PWM) illumination cycles where each PWM illumination cycle is separated from one or more adjacent PWM illumination cycles by a non-illumination cycle. For each PWM illumination cycle, the method comprises directing photocharge to in-pixel memory for each pixel that is performing image integration and for each non-illumination cycle conducting photocharge away from the in-pixel memory for each pixel that is performing image integration. The readout cycle comprises, for each pixel that performed image integration, reading a charge stored in the in-pixel memory after the integration cycle.

  • Publication number: 20240043924
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are DNA sequencing methods involving applying a long DNA molecule to an indexed array comprising an array of transfer sites (TS). Each TS comprises a substrate and a source of clonal barcodes (SCB) attached to or situated on the substrate. Each SCB comprises many copies of a unique transferable barcode sequence, and the unique transferable barcode sequence associated with each TS is known. The unique transferable barcode sequence is transferred from the SCB portion of the TS to a location on the long DNA molecule. DNA fragments comprising the barcode sequences are recovered from the array and sequenced. Sequence reads from these fragments are assembled based on the relative positions of the TS on the array.

  • Publication number: 20220362735
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and compositions for long fragment read sequencing. Technology is described for preparing long fragments of genomic DNA, for processing genomic DNA for long fragment read sequencing methods, as well as software and algorithms for processing and analyzing sequence data. Combinatorial oligonucleotide bar codes are used to label fragments from nearby portions of the genome, which facilitate computational assembly of sequence reads to obtain the genome sequence. This improves efficiency and accuracy of sequencing, whereby an entire sequence can be obtained from fragments that constitute a lower coverage amount of the genome.

  • Publication number: 20220195624
    Abstract: Described herein are high coverage single tube Long Fragment Read (stLFR) technology which uses performs stLFR on target DNA fragments that have already been amplified before they are co-barcoded, which provides higher amount of DNA for sequencing and increases sequencing coverage. In some embodiments, the high coverage stLFR described in this application uses two rounds of stLFR. In some embodiments, the target DNA fragments are transposed with transposons having particular positional barcodes that can be used to order sequence reads.

  • Patent number: 10468121
    Abstract: Long fragment read techniques can be used to identify deletions and resolve base calls by utilizing shared labels (e.g., shared aliquots) of a read with any reads corresponding to heterozygous loci (hets) of a haplotype. For example, the linking of a locus to a haplotype of multiple hets can increase the reads available at the locus for determining a base call for a particular haplotype. For a hemizygous deletion, a region can be linked to one or more hets, and the labels for a particular haplotype can be used to identify which reads in the region correspond to which haplotype. In this manner, since the reads for a particular haplotype can be identified, a hemizygous deletion can be determined. Further, a phasing rate of pulses can be used to identify large deletions. A deletion can be identified with the phasing rate is sufficiently low, and other criteria can be used.
