  • Patent number: 11725237
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the exact pair of alleles corresponding to polymorphic genes from sequencing data and for using the polymorphic gene information in formulating an immunogenic composition. Reads from a sequencing data set mapping to the target polymorphic genes in a canonical reference genome sequence, and reads mapping within a defined threshold of the target gene sequence locations are extracted from the sequencing data set. Additionally, all reads from the set data set are matched against a probe reference set, and those reads that match with a high degree of similarity are extracted. Either one, or a union of both these sets of extracted reads are included in a final extracted set for further analysis. Ethnicity of the individual may be inferred based on the available sequencing data which may then serve as a basis for assigning prior probabilities to the allele variants. The extracted reads are aligned to a gene reference set of all known allele variants.

  • Patent number: 11608533
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to detecting microsatellite indels in cancer patients and those at high risk for cancer, and is useful for early detection of specific types of cancer and early onset of relapse. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to compositions, methods, and kits for classifying and treating neoplasia and tumors with microsatellite instability. The instant classifier identifies preferred therapeutic options, including combination therapies, for MSI tumor or cancer, and is particularly useful for patient stratification so that patients who would be treatable by immunotherapy drugs may be identified at a very low cost.
