Publication number: 20210012859Abstract: Described herein are methods directed to determining the carrier status or genotype of a subject. Described herein is a method that combines experimental and computational approaches to resolve the structure of genomic loci (i.e., the genotype) whose sequences are highly homologous to other sequences in the genome. In particular, the determination of carrier status and/or copy number of a gene in a subject, wherein the gene has a corresponding highly homologous homolog, e.g., gene or pseudogene, utilizes Next Generation Sequencing. Also described herein is a computer-assisted method for such determinations.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2020Publication date: January 14, 2021Applicant: MYRIAD WOMEN'S HEALTH, INC.Inventors: Dale E.

Publication number: 20200111543Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes for determining the number of nucleic acid repeats in a DNA fragment comprising a nucleic acid repeat region. One example method may include receiving DNA size and abundance data generated by resolving DNA amplification products. A set of low-pass data may be generated by applying a low-pass filter to the DNA size and abundance data and a set of band-pass data may be generated by applying a band-pass filter to the DNA size and abundance data. A peak of the DNA size and abundance data representative of a number of nucleic acid repeats in the DNA may be identified based on peaks identified from the low-pass data and the band-pass data.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2019Publication date: April 9, 2020Applicant: MYRIAD WOMEN'S HEALTH, INC.Inventors: A.
