Publication number: 20250061963Abstract: Methods and systems for segmenting sequencing regions obtained from a sample interval are disclosed. sample contamination detection are disclosed. In particular, an analytics system accesses test sequences from a sample. The test sequences each include a sequencing region which, in aggregate, form an aggregate sequencing region. The analytics system segments sequencing regions from the aggregate sequencing region into sequencing subregions. Several methods of segmenting sequencing regions into sequencing subregions are disclosed: (1) maximizing cancer vs. non-cancer methylation beta differences, (2) minimizing cancer vs. non-cancer methylation beta differences, (3) segmentation based on CpG density in regions, (4) dynamic generation of sequencing subregions based on mutual information scores and cancer classification propensity. The analytics system applies selects sequencing subregions and applies a cancer classifier to those subregions to identify cancer presence in the sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2024Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventors: Qinwen Liu, Frank Chu

Publication number: 20240296920Abstract: Methods and systems for redacting non-indicative test sequences from test samples including both indicative and non-indicative test samples are disclosed. Generally, identified non-indicative test sequences originate from WBC cfDNA while indicative test sequences originate from cfDNA associated with the identification of cancer presence in a sample. To identify non-indicative test sequences, the system applies a disambiguation model to test sequences in a test sample. The disambiguation model matches genomic regions from test sequences in a test sample to those in test sequences from a sample cohort. The model then generates a feature set for the matched test sequences and determines a probability that sequences from the test sample represent cfDNA from WBCs. In representing cfDNA from WBCs, the system redacts those test sequences from the sample to form a classification population and applies a cancer classifier to the classification population.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2024Publication date: September 5, 2024Inventors: Qinwen Liu, Oliver Claude Venn, Frank Chu

Publication number: 20240161867Abstract: One or more techniques for optimizing cancer classification based on covariate characteristics is disclosed. In a first approach, an analytics system may determine separate cutoff thresholds for positively detecting disease signal for different labels for a covariate characteristic. The system may subdivide training samples based on their labels for the covariate characteristic, to separately determine the cutoff thresholds. In other approaches, the system may train disparate classifiers for each population. The system separates the training samples based on their labels for the covariate characteristic, and separately trains classifiers to generate a signal vector representing an amount of disease signal detected in a sample. The classifiers may be trained on different feature sets as determined based on mutual information gain, genomic region coverage, and healthy activation fraction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Alexander P.
