Abstract: Described herein are methods, devices, and systems for measuring a level, presence, recurrence, progression, or regression of a disease (such as cancer), for example a fraction of nucleic acid molecules (such as cell-free DNA) in a sample from an individual that relate to diseased tissue (such as cancer tissue). The methods include generating, using the sequencing data comprising sequencing reads associated with loci selected from a personalized disease-associated small nucleotide variant panel, a plurality of variant motif-specific models that each associate sequencing data corresponding to a respective variant motif, a background factor indicative of a false positive error rate for the respective variant motif, and an estimated fraction of the nucleic acid molecules associated with the disease. From the plurality of variant motif-specific models, a fraction of the nucleic acid molecules associated with the disease for the individual can be determined.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, systems, and media for accurate and efficient estimation of a genome of a genus. The methods and systems described herein may be used to accurately determine a base sequence of a polynucleotide. Additionally, the methods and systems may be used to identify base variants of a polynucleotide.
