  • Publication number: 20210062256
    Abstract: A system for identifying genomic features in an embryo candidate is disclosed. The system includes a genomics sequencer, a computing device and a display. The genomic sequencer is configured to obtain sequence information from concatenated genomic fragments derived from an embryo candidate. The concatenated genomic fragments each contain at least one genomic linker segment and at least one genomic fragment from the embryo candidate. The computing device is communicatively connected to the genomic sequencer and includes a sequence alignment engine and a genomic features identification engine. The sequence alignment engine is configured to subtract out sequence information related to the genomic linker segment portion of the concatenated genomic fragments and align the genomic fragment sequences to a reference genome. The genomic features identification engine is configured to identify genomic features in the aligned genomic fragment sequences.

  • Publication number: 20090098534
    Abstract: A full set of 24 chromosome-specific probes to analyze single cells or cell organelles to test for abnormalities is described. When used in an assay based on sequential hybridization, the full set is comprised of three subsets of chromosome-specific probes with each set comprised of 8 different probes. Also described are assays using a set of probes to analyze single cells and cellular organelles to accurately determine the number and type of targeted human chromosomes in various types of cells and cell organelles, such as tumor cells, interphase cells and first polar bodies biopsied from non-inseminated oocytes. Methods of selection or generation of suitable probes and hybridization protocols are described, as are preferred probes for frill set of 24 chromosome-specific probes to target all 24 human chromosomes are described in the Tables.
