Abstract: Cell free nucleic acids from a test sample obtained from an individual are analyzed to identify possible fusion events. Cell free nucleic acids are sequenced and processed to generate fragments. Fragments are decomposed into kmers and the kmers are either analyzed de novo or compared to targeted nucleic acid sequences that are known to be associated with fusion gene pairs of interest. Thus, kmers that may have originated from a fusion event can be identified. These kmers are consolidated to generate gene ranges from various genes that match sequences in the fragment. A candidate fusion event can be called given the spanning of one or more gene ranges across the fragment.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to methods for preparing and analyzing a sequencing library from a mixed cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sample, wherein the mixed sample includes double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), damaged dsDNA (e.g., nicked dsDNA), and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecules. The subject methods facilitate the collection of information from dsDNA, ssDNA and damaged DNA (e.g., nicked DNA) molecules in a sample, thereby providing enhanced diagnostic information as compared to sequencing libraries that are prepared from dsDNA alone.

Abstract: Systems and methods for processing sequencing data of ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules from a test sample include obtaining a plurality of sequence reads each derived from a RNA molecule obtained from the test sample, filtering the plurality of sequence reads, identifying one or more candidate variants from the filtered plurality of sequence reads, determining a quality score for each of the identified one or more candidate variants, the quality score indicating a likelihood that the candidate variant is a false positive detection of a mutation in the RNA molecule, and outputting the one or more candidate variants having a quality score greater than a threshold quality score.
