  • Publication number: 20220365934
    Abstract: The disclosed system links an individual dataset to a database. The system receives a target individual dataset associated with a target individual and identifies candidate individual datasets that are potentially related to the target individual dataset. The system identifies a related individual dataset that has data bits that match some data bits in the target individual dataset. The system then identifies a parent node that is a common parent node to both the target individual dataset and the related individual dataset. The system retrieves a data tree that the parent node belongs to with the data tree containing information describing inter-relationships among datasets in the data tree. A node in the data tree is identified to assign the target individual dataset based on strings of matched data bits and number of the matched strings between the target individual dataset and the datasets in the data tree.

  • Publication number: 20210034647
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for linking individuals' datasets in a database may include receiving a target individual dataset of a target individual and a plurality of additional individual datasets. A computing server may generate a plurality of sub-cluster pairs of first parental groups and second parental groups. At least one of sub-cluster pairs includes a first parental group of matched segments and a second parental group of matched segments. A computing server may link the first parental groups and the second parental groups across the plurality of sub-cluster pairs to generate at least one super-cluster of a parental side. A computing server may assign metadata to one or more additional individual datasets of the plurality of additional individual datasets. The metadata may specify that the one or more additional individual datasets are connected to the target individual dataset by the parental side of the super-cluster.
