  • Publication number: 20220300485
    Abstract: An indication to remove one or more data in a time series database is received. A metadata index associated with the time series database is updated to indicate a soft removal of each data of the one or more data. A data hole index associated with the time series database is updated to indicate a data hole at a location of each data of the one or more data in the time series database. Responsive to an input/output rate for the time series database being below a threshold, the data hole of each data of the one or more data is optimized.

  • Publication number: 20220298545
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11392473
    Abstract: Provided is a method for determining data storage is insufficient for a program. A processor may receive a set of marked data associated with a set of source code. The processor may identify a scope of the code associated with the marked data. The processor may generate a first set of instructions for taking a first snapshot of a variable storage space associated with the marked data when entering the scope and a second snapshot of the variable storage space when exiting the scope. The processor may generate a second set of instructions for comparing the first and second snapshots to determine a usage amount of the variable storage. The processor may generate a third set of instructions for performing an action in response to the usage amount of the variable storage space exceeding a threshold. The processor may compile the code into an executable.

  • Publication number: 20220195046
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a tumor comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof or an anti-PD-L1 antibody or anti-gen-binding portion thereof, wherein the subject is identified as having a high inflammatory gene signature score and a tumor that has a high tumor mutation burden (TMB) status. In some embodiments, the high inflammatory gene signature score is determined by measuring the expression of a panel of inflammatory genes in a tumor sample obtained from the subject, wherein the inflammatory gene panel comprises CD274 (PD-L1), CD8A, LAG3, and STAT1.
