  • Publication number: 20200399701
    Abstract: A method for verifying a genomic variant region in an embryo, is disclosed. Embryo sequencing data is received by one or more processors. The received embryo sequencing data is aligned to a reference genome, by the one or more processors. A genomic variant region is identified in the aligned embryo sequencing data, by the one or more processors. A number of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) is counted in the identified genomic variant region, by the one or more processors. The counted number of SNVs in the identified genomic variant region is normalized against a baseline count of SNVs for a reference region corresponding to the identified genomic variant region to generate a normalized SNV density for the genomic variant region, by the one or more processors. The identified genomic variant region is verified, by the one or more processors, if the normalized SNV density in the identified genomic variant region satisfies a tolerance criterion.

  • Publication number: 20200390018
    Abstract: A system for controlling an implement during a tillage operation may include a frame and a ground-engaging tool pivotally coupled to the frame and movable relative to the frame between a retracted position and an extended position. An actuator may be configured to bias the ground-engaging tool towards the extended position during the tillage operation. An adjustable valve may be configured to permit flow out of the actuator when a fluid pressure of the actuator exceeds a reset pressure such that the actuator allows the ground-engaging tool to pivot towards the retracted position. A controller may be configured to determine at least one of an actuator position or a load value indicative of a force applied by the ground-engaging tool against the soil during the tillage operation and adjust the reset pressure based on the at least one of the actuator position or the load value.
