  • Patent number: 11790282
    Abstract: Genetic-variant data is obtained that corresponds to one or more variants associated with a client. Each of the one or more variants corresponds to an instance of one or more bases positioned at one or more first positions in a first genetic sequence differ from corresponding one or more bases positioned in a reference genetic sequence. The first genetic sequence is a genetic sequence of the client. Sensor data is obtained that provides an indication of one or more characteristics of a current or past environment of the client. The genetic-variant data and the sensor data is processed to generate a disease-risk metric corresponding to a predicted risk of the client developing a particular disease. A communication is generated that is indicative of the disease-risk metric. The communication is transmitted to a remote device.

  • Patent number: 11361842
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for detecting copy number variations. Each sequence read of a set of sequence reads is aligned with a portion of a reference sequence. A coverage vector is generated that includes a plurality of elements, each element in the plurality of elements indicating a number of the set of sequence reads that were aligned to a particular position within the reference sequence. A normalization vector is accessed that was generated based on performance of a component analysis on a set of other coverage vectors corresponding to a set of other subjects. An adjusted coverage vector is generated using the coverage vector and normalization vector. One or more subject-specific normalization values are generated based on the coverage vector. One or more copy number variations are identified that corresponding to the sample using the adjusted coverage vector and the subject-specific normalization values.

  • Patent number: 11120369
    Abstract: Techniques, systems, and products for analyzing sparse indicators and sensor data and generating communications are disclosed. The sensors may be associated with or incorporated into devices that may automatically relay sensor data for use in analyses and communication generation.

  • Patent number: 10853130
    Abstract: Embodiments in the disclosure are directed to the use of distributed computing to align reads against multiple portions of a reference dataset. Aligned portions of the reference dataset that correspond with an above-threshold alignment score can be assessed for the presence of sparse indicators that can be categorized and used to influence a determination of a state transition likelihood. Various tasks associated with the processing of reads (e.g., alignment, sparse indicator detection, and/or determination of a state transition likelihood) may be able to take advantage of parallel processing and can be distributed among the machines while considering the resource utilization of those machines. Different load-balancing mechanisms can be employed in order to achieve even resource utilization across the machines, and in some cases may involve assessing various processing characteristics that reflect a predicted resource expenditure and/or time profile for each task to be processed by a machine.

  • Patent number: 9813467
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for processing and aligning incomplete data. A stream of data is received from a data source including a plurality of reads. While receiving the stream of data and prior to having received all of the plurality of reads, a set of reads is extracted from the plurality of reads. Each of the set of reads is aligned to a corresponding portion of a reference data set. For each particular position of a plurality of particular positions of the reference data set, a subset of reads of the aligned set of reads is identified. A value of a client data set is generated based on the subset of reads. A variable is generated based on the client data set. Data is routed when a condition, based on the variable, is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 9773031
    Abstract: Techniques for accurately identifying duplications and deletions using depth vectors. A depth vector is generated for each of multiple clients based on a set of reads that is received and aligned to a reference data set. A transformation processing of the depth vectors is performed to produce multiple components. Each of the components is assigned an order based on the extent to which it accounts for cross-client differences in the depth vectors. Each of the components includes an intensity, multiple values, and multiple client weights. A subset of the components is identified based on the order. A sparse indicator and positional data for the sparse indicator can be determined from the components in the subset, and one or more clients can be identified as being associated with the components.
