Patent number: 11531445Abstract: Displaying an indication of ancestral data is disclosed. An indication that a genetic interval corresponds to a reference interval that has a likelihood of having one or more ancestral origins is received. One or more graphic display parameters are determined based at least in part on the indication. An indication of the one or more ancestral origins is visually displayed using the one or more graphic display parameters.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2022Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: 23andMe, Inc.Inventors: John Michael Macpherson, Brian Thomas Naughton, Joanna Louise Mountain

Publication number: 20220223233Abstract: Estimating parental contribution of ancestry includes: obtaining a set of ancestry assignment data associated with an individual's genotype data, at least some of the ancestry assignment data indicating that one or more segments of the individual's genotype data is deemed to be associated with a specific ancestry; determining whether in the individual's genotype data there is at least one confirmed region of overlapping ancestry assignment associated with the specific ancestry; in the event that it is determined that there is at least one confirmed region of overlapping ancestry assignment associated with the specific ancestry: specifying that parental contribution of the specific ancestry is made by both parents of the individual; in the event that it is determined that there is no confirmed region of overlapping ancestry assignment associated with the specific ancestry: statistically determining whether the parental contribution to the specific ancestry is made by only one parent of the individual or by botType: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Katarzyna Bryc, Eric Yves Jean-Marc Durand, Joanna Louise Mountain, Robin Patrick Smith, Peilun Shan, Bradley Kittredge

Publication number: 20220198726Abstract: The disclosed embodiments concern methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products for determining and displaying pedigrees based on IBD data. Some implementations use a probabilistic relationship model to obtain various likelihoods of various potential relationships based on pairwise IBD data, and pairwise age data. Some implementations build large pedigrees by combining smaller pedigrees. Some implementations display pedigree graphs with various features that are informative and easy to understand.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2022Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Ethan Macneil Jewett, Andrew C. Seaman, Kimberly Faith McManus, William Allen Freyman, Cordell T. Blakkan, Adam Auton, Joanna Louise Mountain, Susan M. Furest, Rachel E. Lopatin, Hang Xu, Hilary M. Vance
