  • Publication number: 20230352115
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for predicting a trait of an individual and identifying a set of enriched record collections of a genetic community. To predict a trait of an individual, DNA features and non-DNA features of the individual are accessed to generate a feature vector that is inputted into a machine learning model. The machine learning model generates a prediction of the trait. The prediction may be based on an inheritance prediction and/or a community prediction. To identify a set of enriched record collections, individuals belonging to a genetic community are identified and a set of candidate record collections are accessed. A community count and a background count is determined for each candidate record collection. The set of enriched record collections are identified based on a comparison of the community count and the background count. The genetic community may be annotated using the set of enriched record collections.

  • Publication number: 20210383900
    Abstract: Example embodiments may be related to determining whether a trait may be commonly present among members of a genetic community using metadata about individuals such as data derived from survey responses or from other sources. A method may include receiving multiple sets of survey responses from a plurality of individuals. Each set of survey responses may correspond to one of the individuals. Each set may include survey responses to multiple survey questions. The method may define a plurality of traits. One of the traits may be a composite trait that is defined at least partially by a combination of the survey responses to the multiple survey questions. The method may further include retrieving data of the ethnicity composition of the plurality of individuals and determining a correlation between at least one trait and the ethnicity composition of the plurality of individuals. The determination of correlation may include an enrichment test.

  • Publication number: 20210104296
    Abstract: A computing server may use one or more recommender systems to predict phenotypes of individuals based on survey responses, other phenotypes, environmental factors, and genetic data of the individuals. The computing server may retrieve survey responses of a set of individuals regarding a set of phenotypes of the individuals. The computing server may construct a matrix that includes the values of the phenotypes. The computing server may predict an undetermined phenotype of a target individual using collaborative filtering, which provides the prediction based on other phenotypes of the target individuals and based on at least another individual's phenotypes. The computing server may also predict a target phenotype based on the phenotype of other individuals who are similar to the target individual. The computing server may determine another individual is similar to the target individual based on the length of identity-by-descent (IBD) segments between the two individuals.
