Publication number: 20230313271Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that can use a machine-learning to determine factors or scores indicating an error level with which a given methylation assay detects methylation of cytosine bases. For instance, the disclosed systems use a machine-learning model to generate a bias score indicating a degree to which a given methylation assay errs in detecting cytosine methylation when specific sequence contexts surround such cytosines compared to other sequence contexts. The machine-learning model may take various forms of models, including a decision-tree model, a neural network, or a combination of a decision-tree model and a neural network. In some cases, the disclosed system combines or uses bias scores from multiple machine-learning models to generate a consensus bias score.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Steven Norberg, Luis Fernando Camarillo Guerrero, Colin Brown, Andrea Manzo, Sarah E.
