  • Publication number: 20230005569
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to assessment of genetic variation, and in particular to techniques for detection of chromosomal and sub-chromosomal copy number variations. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method is provided for detecting a presence or absence of copy number variation in a target sample. The method includes obtaining sequencing data for a plurality of samples, determining a first normalized coverage for each segment/element in each of the samples according to the sequencing data, determining a second normalized coverage, including a copy number, for each segment/element in each of the samples according to the first normalized coverage, classifying the copy number for each segment/element in a target set in the target sample based on rule-based approaches, machine learning based approaches, or a combination thereof, and outputting a presence or absence of a copy number variation for each segment/element in the target set in the target sample according to the classification.

  • Publication number: 20210366575
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and computer-program products for the determination of complex genetic variants. The disclosed methods, systems and computer-program products may include obtaining a mutant scaffold nucleotide sequence that comprises a sequence that includes mutations characteristic of the complex genetic variant; obtaining a wild-type scaffold nucleotide sequence having a wild-type sequence; generating an alignment of at least one sequence from the sample to the mutant scaffold and to the wild-type scaffold; and determining that the sample contains a mutation characteristic of the complex genetic variant based on alignment to the mutant scaffold and not the wild-type scaffold.
