  • Publication number: 20240112758
    Abstract: Displaying a comparison of genetic data is disclosed, including receiving an indication of a first individual, receiving an indication of a second individual, retrieving the genotypic information for the first individual and the second individual, comparing the genotypic information of the first individual and the second individual, displaying an indication of the comparison of the genotypic information of the first individual and the second individual graphically. A first graphical symbol is used to display an indication of the genome regions for which the first individual and the second individual are identical. A second graphical symbol is used to display an indication of the genome regions for which the first individual and the second individual are half identical.

  • Patent number: 11939573
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compositions, and kits for assays, many of which involve amplification reactions such as digital PCR or droplet digital PCR. The assays may be used for such applications as sequencing, copy number variation analysis, and others. In some cases, the assays involve subdividing a sample into multiple partitions (e.g., droplets) and merging the partitions with other partitions that comprise adaptors with barcodes.

  • Patent number: 11935628
    Abstract: Determining relative relationships of people who share a common ancestor within at least a threshold number of generations includes: receiving recombinable deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence information of a first user and recombinable DNA sequence information of a plurality of users; processing, using one or more computer processors, the recombinable DNA sequence information of the plurality of users in parallel; determining, based at least in part on a result of processing the recombinable DNA information of the plurality of users in parallel, a predicted degree of relationship between the first user and a user among the plurality of users, the predicted degree of relative relationship corresponding to a number of generations within which the first user and the second user share a common ancestor.

  • Publication number: 20230372935
    Abstract: Methods of partition-based analysis. In an exemplary method, a device having a port fluidically connected to a chamber may be selected. A sample-containing fluid may be placed into the port. The sample-containing fluid may be moved from the port to the chamber. Partitions of the sample-containing fluid may be formed. A monolayer of the partitions in the chamber may be created. At least a portion of the monolayer may be imaged.

  • Publication number: 20230287486
    Abstract: Method of haplotype analysis. In an exemplary method, an aqueous phase containing nucleic acid may be partitioned into a plurality of discrete volumes. At least one allele sequence may be amplified in the volumes from each of a first polymorphic locus and a second polymorphic locus that exhibit sequence variation in the nucleic acid. At least one measure of co-amplification of allele sequences from both loci in the same volumes may be determined. A haplotype of the first and second loci may be selected based on the at least one measure of co-amplification.
