  • Publication number: 20260022422
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the genetic data for one or a small set of cells, or from fragmentary DNA, where a limited quantity of genetic data is available, and also for predicting likely phenotypic outcomes using mathematical models and given genetic, phenotypic and/or clinical data of an individual, and also relevant aggregated medical data consisting of genotypic, phenotypic, and/or clinical data from germane patient subpopulations. Genetic data for the target individual is acquired and amplified using known methods, and poorly measured base pairs, missing alleles and missing regions are reconstructed using expected similarities between the target genome and the genome of genetically related subjects.

  • Publication number: 20250342971
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for determining an indication of minimum residual disease (MRD) in a subject. The indication of MRD may be determined based on sequencing data from a biological sample of the subject. These techniques are performed in part by determining sequencing error and an indication MRD from the same biological sample using the same set of sequencing data.

  • Patent number: 12460264
    Abstract: The invention relates to subject-specific methods for detecting recurrence of tumours based on an understanding of the clonal/subclonal mutation profile of the subject's tumour and detection of the mutations in their cell-free DNA (cfDNA), typically by multiplex PCR of tumour mutations such as single nucleotide variants (SNVs).

  • Publication number: 20240412813
    Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-implemented method for estimating the cancer cell fraction (CCF) of at least one tumour-specific mutation in a subject. Also provided are related methods for monitoring the clonal dynamics of a tumour, monitoring a treatment of the tumour and methods for treating a subject having a cancer, as well as systems for implementing the methods of the invention.

  • Patent number: 12146195
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for detecting single nucleotide variants in lung cancer, especially stage 3a lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma. Additional methods and compositions, such as reaction mixtures and solid supports comprising clonal populations of nucleic acids, are provided.
