Publication number: 20250129420Abstract: There is a need for improved methods for determining the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with conditions, including autoimmune disease and cancer, especially lymphoid neoplasms, such as lymphomas and leukemias. Provided herein are methods for using DNA sequencing to identify personalized, or patient-specific biomarkers in patients with lymphoid neoplasms, autoimmune disease and other conditions. Identified biomarkers can be used to determine and/or monitor the disease state for a subject with an associated lymphoid disorder or autoimmune disease or other condition. In particular, the invention provides a sensitive method for monitoring lymphoid neoplasms that undergo clonal evolutions without the need to development alternative assays for the evolved or mutated clones serving as patient-specific biomarkers.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Inventors: Malek Faham, Thomas Willis

Publication number: 20230096451Abstract: Techniques for remote disaggregated infrastructure processing units (IPUs) are described. An apparatus described herein includes an interconnect controller to receive a transaction layer packet (TLP) from a host compute node; identify a sender and a destination from the TLP; and provide, to a content addressable memory (CAM), a key determined from the sender and the destination. The apparatus as described herein can further include core circuitry communicably coupled to the interconnect controller, the core circuitry to determine an output of the CAM based on the key, the output comprising a network address of an infrastructure processing unit (IPU) assigned to the host compute node, wherein the IPU is disaggregated from the host compute node over a network; and send the TLP to the IPU using a transport protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Salma Johnson, Duane Galbi, Bradley Burres, Jose Niell, Jeongnim Kim, Reshma Lal, Anandhi Jayakumar, Mrittika Ganguli, Thomas Willis

Patent number: 9523129Abstract: The invention is directed to methods of generating sequence profiles of populations of nucleic acids, whose member nucleic acids contain regions of high variability, such as populations of nucleic acids encoding T cell receptors or B cell receptors. In one aspect, the invention provides pluralities of sets of primers for generating nested sets of templates from nucleic acids in such populations, thereby insuring the production of at least one template from which sequence reads are generated, despite such variability, or despite limited lengths or quality of sequence reads. In another aspect, members of such populations are bidirectionally sequenced so that further sequence information is obtained by analyzing overlapping sequence reads in the zones of highest variability.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2014Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp.Inventors: Malek Faham, Martin Moorhead, Thomas Willis

Publication number: 20160355893Abstract: The invention is directed to the use of sequence tags to improve sequence determination of amplicons of related sequences, particularly large and complex amplicons, such as those comprising recombined nucleic acids encoding immune receptor molecules. In one aspect, sequence reads having the same sequence tags are aligned after which final base calls are determined from a (possibly weighted) average base call from sequence read base calls at each position. Similarly, in another aspect, sequence reads comprising series of incorporation signals are aligned by common sequence tags and base calls in homopolymer regions are made as a function incorporation signal values at each “flow” position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: December 8, 2016Inventors: Malek Faham, Martin Moorhead, Thomas Willis, Jianbiao Zheng
