  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRACKING AND IDENTIFYING INFECTION TRANSMISSION
    Publication number: 20170235873
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for determining sources of infection transmission. Phylogenetic methods are used for determining the evolutionary history and replication rates of infection isolates. The evolutionary distance and/or replication rate of an infection isolate maybe compared to other isolates. Based on a comparison of the evolutionary distance and/or replication rate, a determination of the source of infection transmission is made.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING AND FLAGGING SAMPLES OF CONCERN
    Publication number: 20170228497
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for determining and flagging sequences that deviate from one or more reference sequences. Phylogenetic methods are used for determining the evolutionary history and evolutionary distances of sample isolates. The evolutionary distances of sample isolates may be compared to each other and/or reference isolates. Based on a comparison of the evolutionary distances, a determination of deviance is made for a sample sequence. The sample sequence is flagged for further analysis to determine the cause of deviation.
