Abstract: Methods for detecting a short genetic variant in a test sample are described herein. In some exemplary methods, the short genetic variant is called using one or match scores, which are determined using one or more sequencing data sets obtained from a test nucleic acid molecule, wherein the test sequencing data sets are determined by sequencing the test nucleic acid molecule using non-terminating nucleotides provided in separate nucleotide flows according to a flow-cycle order. Also described herein are methods of sequencing a test nucleic acid molecule using two or more different flow-cycle orders and/or extended flow cycle orders having five or more nucleotide flows per flow cycle.

Abstract: Described herein are methods, devices, and systems for measuring a level of a disease (such as cancer), for example a fraction of nucleic acid molecules (such as cell-free DNA) in a sample from an individual that relate to diseased tissue (such as cancer tissue). Also described are methods, devices, and systems for measuring a presence, recurrence, progression, or regression of the disease in the individual. Certain methods include comparing, using nucleic acid sequencing data associated with the individual, a signal indicative of a rate at which sequenced loci selected from a personalized disease-associated small nucleotide variant (SNV) locus panel are derived from a diseased tissue to a background factor indicative of a sequencing false positive error rate, or a noise factor indicative of a sampling variance, across the selected loci.

Abstract: The present invention provides oligonucleotide libraries capable of detecting RNA transcripts and RNA splice variants which populate a transcriptome and which are transcribed from genes or transcription units that populate the corresponding genome. The present invention also provides oligonucleotide arrays generated from the oligonucleotide libraries and methods of using the oligonucleotide libraries in various oligonucleotide detection systems and expression profiling studies. Antisense molecules and double-stranded interfering RNAs, which are types of oligonucleotides, based on the oligonucleotides disclosed herein also are provided.
