Abstract: A method for detecting a gene fusion includes amplifying a nucleic acid sample in the presence of primer pool to produce a plurality of amplicons. The primer pool includes primers targeting a plurality of exon-exon junctions of a driver gene. The amplicons correspond to the exon-exon junctions. The amplicons are sequenced and aligned to a reference sequence. The number of reads corresponding to each amplicon is normalized to give a normalized read count.

A predicted breakpoint for the gene fusion is determined based on the amplicon index corresponding to the maximum absolute binary segmentation score. Gene fusion events may be detected in a partner agnostic manner, i.e. without prior knowledge of the specific fusion partner genes or specific breakpoint information.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for splitting a clone volume from a parent volume whose data is stored within objects of an object store. A transfer map is used to track mappings of selectively created child object identifiers used to subsequently copy the one or more parent objects to create child objects corresponding to the child object identifiers. A consistency point phase is performed. For each child object identifier processed during the consistency point phase, an object state for a corresponding child object is set to a copy pending state. A reverse map is populated with a reverse map entry. The transfer map is traversed to copy the one or more parent objects as the child objects for splitting the clone volume from the parent volume. The reverse map is used to verify that the child objects are successfully created with valid data.
