Publication number: 20240026442Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for tracking nucleic acid fragment origin by target-specific barcode tagging when original nucleic acid targets break into small fragments. Nucleic acid targets are captured in vitro on a solid support with clonally localized nucleic acid barcode templates. Many nucleic acid targets can be processed simultaneously in a massively parallel fashion without partition. These nucleic acid target tracking methods can be used for a variety of applications in both whole genome sequencing and targeted sequencing in order to accurately identify genomic variants, haplotype phasing and assembly, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Universal Sequencing Technology CorporationInventors: Zhoutao CHEN, Tsai-Chin WU, Long Kim PHAM, Yong WANG

Publication number: 20230220453Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and kits for tracking nucleic acid target origin by barcode tagging of the targets when they break into smaller fragments. Nucleic acid targets are captured in vitro by clonally localized nucleic acid barcode templates on a solid support. Millions of nucleic acid targets can be processed simultaneously in a massively parallel fashion without additional partition. These captured targets are broken into small fragments, and a target specific barcode sequence is tagged on each fragment as an identification of their original target. These nucleic acid target tracking methods can be used for a variety of applications in both whole genome sequencing and targeted sequencing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: Universal Sequencing Technology CorporationInventors: Zhoutao Chen, Long Kim Pham, Junchen Gu, Ming Lei

Patent number: 10942931Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for selecting and notifying operators of the option to enable a record activation feature for a short interval of time for the records they offer in a selected geographic area. Enabling record activation for a record indicates that the record may be booked without the operator's to manual approval of the transaction. Before selecting and notifying operators, a demand for database requests is predicted. Operators that are most likely to offer their record for record activation are identified. A quality score is determined for each identified record based on the likelihood that the record will get booked once the operator has programmatically enabled record activation. The records needed to fulfill the demand for database requests are selected based on their quality score and the operators of the selected records are notified of the option to enable record activation.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Airbnb, Inc.Inventors: Spencer de Mars, Kim Pham, Maxim Charkov

Regression-tree compressed feature vector machine for time-expiring inventory utilization prediction
Patent number: 10621548Abstract: This disclosure includes systems for regression-tree-modified feature vector machine learning models for utilization prediction in time-expiring inventory. An online computing system receives a feature vector for a listing and inputs the feature vector and modified feature vectors into a demand function to generate demand estimates. The system inputs the demand estimates into a likelihood model to generate a set of request likelihoods, each request likelihood representing a likelihood that the time-expiring inventory will receive a transaction request at each of a set of test price and test times to expiration. The system further trains a regression tree model based on a set of training data comprising each of the request likelihoods from the set and the test price and test time period to expiration used to generate the demand estimate that was used to generate the request likelihood.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Airbnb, Inc.Inventors: Spencer de Mars, Yangli Hector Yee, Peng Ye, Fenglin Liao, Li Zhang, Kim Pham, Julian Qian, Benjamin Yolken -

Patent number: 10204144Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for selecting and notifying operators of the option to enable a record activation feature for a short interval of time for the records they offer in a selected geographic area. Enabling record activation for a record indicates that the record may be booked by a user without first requesting the operator to manually approve the transaction request and waiting for the operator's approval of the request. Before selecting and notifying operators, a demand for database requests is predicted. Operators that are most likely to offer their record for record activation are identified. A quality score is determined for each identified record based on the likelihood that the record will get booked once the operator has programmatically enabled record activation. The records needed to fulfill the demand for database requests are selected based on their quality score and the operators of the selected records are notified of the option to enable record activation.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2015Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Airbnb, Inc.Inventors: Spencer de Mars, Kim Pham, Maxim Charkov
