Patent number: 12624394Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for sample processing and data analysis. Sample processing may include nucleic acid sample processing and subsequent sequencing. Some or all of a nucleic acid sample may be sequenced to provide sequence information, which may be stored or otherwise maintained in an electronic storage location. The sequence information may be analyzed with the aid of a computer processor, and the analyzed sequence information may be stored in an electronic storage location that may include a pool or collection of sequence information and analyzed sequence information generated from the nucleic acid sample. Methods and systems of the present disclosure can be used, for example, for the analysis of a nucleic acid sample, for producing one or more libraries, and for producing biomedical reports. Methods and systems of the disclosure can aid in the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and prevention of one or more diseases and conditions.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2025Date of Patent: May 12, 2026Assignee: Personalis, Inc.Inventors: Gabor T.

Publication number: 20250270653Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for personalized genetic testing of disease in a subject, in particular for identifying and tracking genetic mutations identified in an individual subject to monitor for cancer or for the spread or recurrence of the disease. In some embodiments, custom assays, including custom panels designed to target sequence data corresponding to both subject-specific loci and other loci known for cancer-causing or therapy resistance mutations, are designed based upon the sequencing of a screening biopsy sample. Such custom assays are then run on subsequently obtained tissue samples, such as tissue obtained from a surgical resection of a primary or metastatic tumor or from a lymph node biopsy. The subsequently obtained tissue samples can be taken from the subject at various time points after an initial screening biopsy to further allow for extended monitoring of the subject for spread or recurrence of the disease.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2025Publication date: August 28, 2025Inventors: John WEST, Laurie GOODMAN, Richard CHEN

Publication number: 20240257913Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing and/or analyzing nucleic acid sequencing data comprises receiving a first data input and a second data input. The first data input comprises untargeted sequencing data generated from a first nucleic acid sample obtained from a subject. The second data input comprises target-specific sequencing data generated from a second nucleic acid sample obtained from the subject. Next, with the aid of a computer processor, the first data input and the second data input are combined to produce a combined data set. Next, an output derived from the combined data set is generated. The output is indicative of the presence or absence of one or more polymorphisms of the first nucleic acid sample and/or the second nucleic acid sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2024Publication date: August 1, 2024Inventors: Jason Harris, Mark R.
