  • Publication number: 20250095778
    Abstract: A sequencing data analysis platform can process datasets that include a large number of sequence read. The reads are aligned to one or more reference genomes. Due to sequencing errors, sequencing noise, or genuine differences between a reference genome and the individual species being sequenced, this mapping process may tolerate a certain number of mismatches, insertions, or deletions. The sequencing data analysis platform provides a set of tools for analyzing and visualizing the sequence reads.

  • Publication number: 20250083071
    Abstract: A tank recirculation assembly comprising a recirculation line that draws fluid from the lower portion of a tank; and a pump that directs the recirculated fluid vertically toward and into the upper portion of the tank. The assembly comprises piping, pumping process and/or nozzles that spray the recirculated fluid across the surface oil inside of the tank. Recirculation is incorporated to enhance the recovery of more and cleaner oil by spraying as much of the surface area of the oil recovery zone to keep it clean. The then dispersed fluid travels down through the pad and reacts to help disperse and remove the interface that conglomerates in between the oil and water interface.
