  • Patent number: 11896944
    Abstract: Fiducial markers are provided on patterned arrays of the type that may be used for molecular analysis, such as sequencing. The fiducials may have configurations that enhance their detection in image or detection data, that facilitate or improve processing, that provide encoding of useful information, and so forth. Examples of the fiducials may include an “always on” type that respond to multiple frequencies of radiation used during processing and detection so as to return signals during successive cycles of imaging.

  • Publication number: 20240011087
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments concern methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products for determining sequences of interest using unique molecular index sequences that are uniquely associable with individual polynucleotide fragments, including sequences with low allele frequencies and long sequence length. In some implementations, the unique molecular index sequences include variable-length nonrandom sequences. In some implementations, the unique molecular index sequences are associated with the individual polynucleotide fragments based on alignment scores indicating similarity between the unique molecular index sequences and subsequences of sequence reads obtained from the individual polynucleotide fragments. System, apparatus, and computer program products are also provided for determining a sequence of interest implementing the methods disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11835460
    Abstract: Fiducial markers are provided on patterned arrays of the type that may be used for molecular analysis, such as sequencing. The fiducials may have configurations and layouts that enhance their detection in image or detection data, that facilitate or improve processing, that provide encoding of useful information, and so forth. Examples of the fiducials may include offset layouts that may be useful in detecting the fiducials in different types and approaches in imaging, and that may help to distinguish regions of the array from one another in image data.

  • Patent number: 11308640
    Abstract: A method of registering features in a repeating pattern can include (a) providing an object having a repeating pattern of features and a fiducial; (b) obtaining a target image of the object, wherein the target image includes the repeating pattern of features and the fiducial; (c) comparing the fiducial in the target image to reference data, wherein the reference data includes xy coordinates for a virtual fiducial; and (d) determining locations for the features in the target image based on the comparison of the virtual fiducial in the reference data to the fiducial in the data from the target image. The fiducial can have at least concentric circles that produce three different signal levels. The locations of the features can be determined at a variance of less than 5 ?m.
