Abstract: A control method of controlling a computer to analyze, at a second facility, nucleic acid sequence data obtained, at a first facility, by a sequencer that reads a nucleic acid sequence, for a gene panel test, comprising receiving, from the first facility via a network, a sequence data set comprising a plurality of nucleic acid sequence data obtained by the sequencer corresponding to each of a plurality of library samples comprising a first library sample and a second library sample, which are prepared from a specimen of a subject, and link information indicating that the first library sample and the second library sample are prepared from the specimen of the same subject; analyzing a first sequence data and a second sequence data corresponding to each of the first library sample and the second library sample linked by the link information; and outputting analysis information based on an analysis result of the first sequence data and an analysis result of the second sequence data, is disclosed.

Abstract: A report generating method generates a report for reporting a level of pathogenicity of a genetic mutation. The report generating method obtains information on a genetic mutation detected in a gene panel test, generates an evaluation result for a plurality of evaluation items based on a first criterion for evaluating each of the evaluation items and at least information on the genetic mutation, determines the level of pathogenicity based on a second criterion for determining the level of pathogenicity and the evaluation result, determines an undetermined item for which the evaluation result is undetermined among the plurality of evaluation items, determines whether the level of pathogenicity is tentative based on a determination result of the undetermined item, and generates a report for reporting the level of pathogenicity according to the determination result of whether the level of pathogenicity is tentative.

Abstract: Provided is an analysis method including obtaining sequence information of nucleic acid contained in a measurement sample prepared by mixing a sample that contains subject-derived nucleic acid and a sample that contains non-subject-derived nucleic acid such that the measurement sample contains a previously determined amount of nucleic acid; and performing analysis on the obtained sequence information, wherein the performing of the analysis includes performing analysis on sequence information of the subject-derived nucleic acid in the obtained sequence information, and not performing, on sequence information of the non-subject-derived nucleic acid in the obtained sequence information, at least a part of the analysis to be performed on the sequence information of the subject-derived nucleic acid.

Abstract: Provided is an analysis method including obtaining sequence information of nucleic acid contained in a measurement sample prepared by mixing at least one sample that contains subject-derived nucleic acid and a sample that contains non-subject-derived nucleic acid such that the measurement sample contains a previously determined amount of nucleic acid; and outputting sequence information in which a data amount of sequence information per sample that contains subject-derived nucleic acid is a predetermined amount irrespective of the number of samples that contain subject-derived nucleic acid and that have been used in preparing the measurement sample.
