  • Publication number: 20230115039
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods for predicting surface-presenting peptides using binding and surface-presentation characteristics. The method can include accessing a trained machine-learning model that is configured to generate an output that indicates an extent to which the one or more expression levels and the one or more peptide-presentation metrics are related in accordance with a population-level relationship between expression and presentation. For each peptide of the set of peptides for a tissue sample, a score can be determined using the machine-learning model and genomic and transcriptomic data corresponding to the peptide. The score is predictive of whether a corresponding peptide is a surface-presenting peptide that binds to an MHC molecule and is presented on a cell surface.

  • Publication number: 20230103464
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for personalized genetic testing of disease in a subject, in particular for identifying and tracking genetic mutations identified in an individual subject to monitor for cancer or for the spread or recurrence of the disease. In some embodiments, custom assays, including custom panels designed to target sequence data corresponding to both subject-specific loci and other loci known for cancer-causing or therapy resistance mutations, are designed based upon the sequencing of a screening biopsy sample. Such custom assays are then run on subsequently obtained tissue samples, such as tissue obtained from a surgical resection of a primary or metastatic tumor or from a lymph node biopsy. The subsequently obtained tissue samples can be taken from the subject at various time points after an initial screening biopsy to further allow for extended monitoring of the subject for spread or recurrence of the disease.

  • Publication number: 20230044393
    Abstract: A biodegradable polymer usable in fishing gear and that biodegrades in aquatic environments. The polymer includes a polymer backbone that has monomeric units that are susceptible to hydrolytic degradation, and a plurality of pH responsive moieties. Each pH responsive moiety is grafted to a respective one of the monomeric units. The pH responsive moieties are relatively hydrophilic when exposed to an aqueous solution of a pro-biodegradation pH range to facilitate hydrolytic degradation of the monomeric units, and are relatively hydrophobic when removed from the aqueous solution of the pro-biodegradation pH range, to protect the monomeric units from hydrolytic degradation.

  • Publication number: 20230005111
    Abstract: A hybrid-distance adversarial patch generator can be trained to generate a hybrid adversarial patch effective at multiple distances. The hybrid patch can be inserted into multiple sample images, each depicting an object, to simulate inclusion of the hybrid patch at multiple distances. The multiple sample images can then be used to train an object detection model to detect the objects.

  • Publication number: 20220392577
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing and/or analyzing nucleic acid sequencing data comprises receiving a first data input and a second data input. The first data input comprises untargeted sequencing data generated from a first nucleic acid sample obtained from a subject. The second data input comprises target-specific sequencing data generated from a second nucleic acid sample obtained from the subject. Next, with the aid of a computer processor, the first data input and the second data input are combined to produce a combined data set. Next, an output derived from the combined data set is generated. The output is indicative of the presence or absence of one or more polymorphisms of the first nucleic acid sample and/or the second nucleic acid sample.

  • Publication number: 20220367053
    Abstract: Systems and methods can quantify the tumor microenvironment for diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic response prediction by fusing different data types (e.g., morphological information from histology and molecular information from omics) using an algorithm that harnesses deep learning. The algorithm employs tensor fusion to provide end-to-end multimodal fusion to model the pairwise interactions of features across multiple modalities (e.g., histology and molecular features) and deep learning. The systems and methods improve upon traditional methods for quantifying the tumor microenvironment that rely on concatenation of extracted features.

  • Patent number: 11481391
    Abstract: A distributed database system maintains data for a logical table by storing, on a plurality of storage nodes, a collection of key-item pairs. The distributed database system receives a query of the logical table, and identifies one or more portions of a key specified by the query. Based on the one or more portions of the key, the distributed database causes at least one of a get, range query, or scan operation to be performed by one or more of the storage nodes. Results for the query are generated based on one or more items obtained by performance of the operation.
