Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that can facilitate execution of external workflows for diagnostic analysis of nucleotide sequencing data utilizing a container orchestration engine. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a container orchestration engine to allow external systems (e.g., third-party systems) to generate and implement workflows for analyzing sequencing data. In executing individual workflow containers of a sequencing diagnostic workflow, the disclosed systems can isolate the workflow containers to prevent access to, or corruption of, other data while also orchestrating allocation of computing resources available at a genomic sequence processing device to execute the workflow containers.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that can query the status of various stages in an end-to-end sequencing process and generate a graphical status summary for the sequencing process that depicts icons indicating statuses of the various stages. For instance, the disclosed systems can generate a graphical status summary for a nucleotide sequencing taskset that includes icons depicting statuses of a sequencing run, a data transfer of base-call data to a device for variant analysis, and the variant analysis—each part of the same nucleotide sequencing taskset. By exchanging data with a sequencing device for read data and one or more servers for variant analysis, the disclosed system can quickly provide a graphical status summary of an end-to-end sequencing process marked by various tasks within a nucleotide sequencing taskset.

Abstract: In examples, Radio Frequency nodes of an array are synchronized using Time-Reversal. A Master node (“Master”) of the array receives and captures a sounding signal emitted by a Slave node (“Slave”) of the array, downconverts it to baseband, Time-Reverses the downconverted signal, upconverts the Time-Reversed signal to the carrier frequency using the Master's clock so that the upconverted signal has phase property of the Master's clock, and transmits the resulting signal to the Slave. The Slave receives the signal from the Master, and adjusts the phase of the Slave's clock so that the phases of the two nodes are aligned. Once phases, frequencies, and time references of the array's nodes are aligned, the array may be used for coherent operation. In examples, the array is used to transmit Time-Reversed signals so that the signals from the array's nodes are spatially and temporally focused on a target.

Abstract: In examples, two arrays of Radio Frequency nodes achieve enhanced beamforming for communications between the arrays by successively sending sounding signals from one array to the other array. Each sounding signal sent by the first of the two arrays is beamformed through time reversal of an immediately preceding sounding signal received by the first array from the second array, and each sounding signal (except the initial sounding signal) sent by the second array is beamformed through time reversal of an immediately preceding sounding signal received by the second array from the first array. The initial sounding signal sent by the second array may be omnidirectional, beamformed through a guesstimate, random, predetermined, or determined through a search of the area where the arrays are located. With sufficient beamfocusing, the arrays may communicate by sending and receiving data from one array to the other array.
