  • Publication number: 20220319641
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for accurately and efficiently detect when bubbles impact nucleic-acid-sequencing runs based on data captured during (or derived from) base calls during sequencing runs. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems receive data identifying nucleobase calls and data identifying quality metrics for the nucleobase calls during sequencing cycles. Based on particular nucleobase calls and threshold markers for the quality metrics, the disclosed system utilizes a machine-learning-model to detect a presence of a bubble in a nucleotide-sample slide. Beyond simply detecting the presence of a bubble, the disclosed system can also classify different detected bubbles, such as air bubbles, oil bubbles, or ghost bubbles, or other outputs during sequencing.

  • Publication number: 20220283418
    Abstract: The technology disclosed present systems and methods to produce an enhanced resolution image from images of a target using structured illumination microscopy (SIM). The method includes transforming at least three images of the target captured by a sensor in a spatial domain into a Fourier domain to produce at least three frequency domain matrices that each include first blocks of complex coefficients and redundant second blocks of complex coefficients that are conjugates to the first blocks. The method includes reducing computing resources required to produce the enhanced resolution image by using first blocks of complex coefficients to produce at least three phase-separated half-matrices in the Fourier domain. The method includes performing one or more intermediate transformation on the phase-separated half-matrices to produce realigned shifted half-matrices. The method includes calculating complex coefficients of second blocks in the Fourier domain to produce full matrices from half-matrices.

  • Publication number: 20210116690
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to structured illumination microscopy (SIM). In particular, the technology disclosed relates to capturing and processing, in real time, numerous image tiles across a large image plane, dividing them into subtiles, efficiently processing the subtiles, and producing enhanced resolution images from the subtiles. The enhanced resolution images can be combined into enhanced images and can be used in subsequent analysis steps.

  • Publication number: 20210118110
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to structured illumination microscopy (SIM). In particular, the technology disclosed relates to capturing and processing, in real time, numerous image tiles across a large image plane, dividing them into subtiles, efficiently processing the subtiles, and producing enhanced resolution images from the subtiles. The enhanced resolution images can be combined into enhanced images and can be used in subsequent analysis steps. The technology disclosed includes logic to reduce computing resources required to produce an enhanced resolution image from structured illumination of a target. A method is described for producing an enhanced resolution image from images of a target captured under structured illumination. This method applies one or more transformations to non-redundant data and then recovers redundant data from the non-redundant data after the transformations.
