Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing first and second strings against a ground truth string are provided. A construct representing a plurality of components is obtained, each component for a different portion of the truth string. The construct comprises a plurality of measurement string sampling pools each having an identifier and a corresponding plurality of measurement samplings corresponding to one or two of the components. Each sampling has the identifier and a portion of the first or second string. Samplings are assigned to first, second or third classes when coding a portion of the first string, second string, or both the first and second string. First and second positions are tested for sequence events by calculating a plurality of sequence event models using assumptions on the components having samplings encompassing the first and second positions and class assignments. These assumptions are updated using the calculated models and the models are recalculated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining structural variation and phasing using variant call data obtained from nucleic acid of a biological sample are provided. Sequence reads are obtained, each comprising a portion corresponding to a subset of the test nucleic acid and a portion encoding a barcode independent of the sequencing data. Bin information is obtained. Each bin represents a different portion of the sample nucleic acid. Each bin corresponds to a set of sequence reads in a plurality of sets of sequence reads formed from the sequence reads such that each sequence read in a respective set of sequence reads corresponds to a subset of the nucleic acid represented by the bin corresponding to the respective set. Binomial tests identify bin pairs having more sequence reads with the same barcode in common than expected by chance. Probabilistic models determine structural variation likelihood from the sequence reads of these bin pairs.

Abstract: Described are computer-implemented methods, systems, and media for de novo phased diploid assembly of nucleic acid sequence data generated from a nucleic acid sample of an individual utilizing nucleic acid tags to preserve long-range sequence context for the individual such that a subset of short-read sequence data derived from a common starting sequence shares a common tag. The phased diploid assembly is achieved without alignment to a reference sequence derived from organisms other than the individual. The methods, systems, and media described are computer-resource efficient, allowing scale-up.
