  • Publication number: 20150142465
    Abstract: A patient sample specific dynamic pathway map is constructed on the basis of measured patient data and a probabilistic pathway model that is based on attributes for pathway elements, wherein some attributes for pathway elements are known a priori, where other attributes for the pathway elements are assumed, and where the pathway elements are cross-correlated and assigned an influence level for at least one pathway. Preferred dynamic pathway maps provide context of the measured patient data with respect to a selected reference pathway activity.

  • Patent number: 6936433
    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for characterizing a duplex nucleic acid, e.g., a duplex DNA molecule. In the subject methods, a fluid conducting medium that includes a duplex nucleic acid molecule is contacted with a nanopore under the influence of an applied electric field and the resulting changes in current through the nanopore caused by the duplex nucleic acid molecule are monitored. The observed changes in current through the nanopore are then employed as a set of data values to characterize the duplex nucleic acid, where the set of data values may be employed in raw form or manipulated, e.g., into a current blockade profile. Also provided are nanopore devices for practicing the subject methods, where the subject nanopore devices are characterized by the presence of an algorithm which directs a processing means to employ monitored changes in current through a nanopore to characterize a duplex nucleic acid molecule responsible for the current changes.
