Patent number: 10032000Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: Personalis, Inc.Inventors: Jason Harris, Mark R.

Publication number: 20130060479Abstract: Aspects of the present invention describe an apparatus and method for generating genotype calls for a sample. The genotyping initially models allelic signal response into an allelic model having one or more model parameters for an identified one or more sources of systematic variation. The model and parameters are then used to transform the allelic signals to a normalized normalized allelic space that serves to compensate for the one or more sources of systematic variation. By compensating for the systematic variation in this manner, the genotype for the sample is readily determined based upon its relationship to the representation of the allelic signals in normalized allelic space and in accordance with the allelic model.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2012Publication date: March 7, 2013Applicant: LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Mark R.

Patent number: 6952510Abstract: An optic device is placed in close proximity to multiple gain elements so as to selectively modify the divergence of the light from said multiple elements such that when the light is subsequently collimated and diffracted from a grating and focused into an optical fiber, it will have a predefined cross-section that matches the mode of the fiber. Using this system and method, a more efficient light transfer is achieved in an intracavity fiber coupled multigain element laser.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2002Date of Patent: October 4, 2005Assignee: nLight Photonics CorporationInventors: Scott R. Karlsen, Mark R. Pratt, Jason N. Farmer

Patent number: 6865316Abstract: An embodiment is directed to a system for dissipating cladding modes of an optical fiber. In the system, a high power light source couples optical power into the optical fiber at a fiber coupling point thereby producing the cladding modes; material is indexed-matched to the optical fiber and is optically contacted to the optical fiber near the fiber coupling point; and a substrate layer is operable to provide a thermal sink for heat generated from dissipation of cladding modes of the optical fiber.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2002Date of Patent: March 8, 2005Assignee: nLight Photonics CorporationInventor: Mark R.
