  • 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: 9785792
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein relate generally to processing data requests from external assessment systems. More specifically, an interface is availed to external assessment systems that accepts an identification of one or more genes. Upon receiving a request identifying one or more genes, a type of access authorized for the requesting external assessment system is assessed. When it is determined that the type of data access indicates that the external assessment system is authorized to access data for the one or more genes, a data repository is queried to identify client data that corresponds to the one or more genes and that indicates or can be used to detect a presence of client-associated variants. A response data set that includes at least some of the client data is transmitted to the external assessment system.
