  • Publication number: 20230178184
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions, systems and methods related to sequence assembly, such as nucleic acid sequence assembly of single reads and contigs into larger contigs and scaffolds through the use of read pair sequence information, such as read pair information indicative of nucleic acid sequence phase or physical linkage.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 2, 2023
    Publication date: June 8, 2023
    Inventors: Nicholas H. Putnam, Jonathan C. Stites, Brandon J. Rice
  • Patent number: 11600361
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions, systems and methods related to sequence assembly, such as nucleic acid sequence assembly of single reads and contigs into larger contigs and scaffolds through the use of read pair sequence information, such as read pair information indicative of nucleic acid sequence phase or physical linkage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 7, 2023
    Assignee: Dovetail Genomics, LLC
    Inventors: Nicholas H. Putnam, Jonathan C. Stites, Brandon J. Rice
  • Publication number: 20210371904
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods to isolate genome or chromosome level structural information from preserved samples. In some cases, samples preserved under conditions where long-range nucleic acid information is believed to be irreparably lost, such as FFPE samples, are treated to recover nucleic acid-protein complexes stabilized as part of the sample preservation process. The complexes are processed so as to recover information regarding which nucleic acids are bound to a common complex, and the information is used to recover genomic structural information.

  • Publication number: 20200321076
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods, systems, and algorithms to identify and report genome or chromosome level structural information, such as the presence of structural variations. In some cases, structural variations include copy number variations, inversions, deletions, tandem duplications, or inverted duplications. Further provided herein are methods, systems and algorithms for assembling read-paired genomic data, including creating and optimizing scaffold models.
