  • Patent number: 11322227
    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: 20220106641
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, systems, and devices for polynucleotide processing and analyte characterization. Such polynucleotide processing may be useful for a variety of applications, including analyte characterization by polynucleotide sequencing. The compositions, methods, systems, and devices disclosed herein generally describe barcoded oligonucleotides, which can be bound to a bead, such as a gel bead, useful for characterizing one or more analytes including, for example, protein (e.g., cell surface or intracellular proteins), genomic DNA, and RNA (e.g., mRNA or CRISPR guide RNAs). Also described herein, are barcoded labelling agents and oligonucleotide molecules useful for “tagging” analytes for characterization.

  • Publication number: 20220081704
    Abstract: This disclosure provides microwell capsule array devices. The microwell capsule array devices are generally capable of performing one or more sample preparation operations. Such sample preparation operations may be used as a prelude to one more or more analysis operations. For example, a device of this disclosure can achieve physical partitioning and discrete mixing of samples with unique molecular identifiers within a single unit in preparation for various analysis operations. The device may be useful in a variety of applications and most notably nucleic-acid-based sequencing, detection and quantification of gene expression and single-cell analysis.

  • Publication number: 20220008914
    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: 20210295947
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining structural variation and phasing using variant call data obtained from nucleic acid of a biological sample are provided. Sequence reads are obtained, each comprising a portion corresponding to a subset of the test nucleic acid and a portion encoding a barcode independent of the sequencing data. Bin information is obtained. Each bin represents a different portion of the sample nucleic acid. Each bin corresponds to a set of sequence reads in a plurality of sets of sequence reads formed from the sequence reads such that each sequence read in a respective set of sequence reads corresponds to a subset of the nucleic acid represented by the bin corresponding to the respective set. Binomial tests identify bin pairs having more sequence reads with the same barcode in common than expected by chance. Probabilistic models determine structural variation likelihood from the sequence reads of these bin pairs.
