Publication number: 20230197198Abstract: Example systems and methods are provided for identifying genome edits in genomes based on patterns associated with joints in target sequences of the genomes. One example method includes receiving, by a computing device, a request to identify at least one edit in an output genome, where the output genome includes one or more edits to the genome and where a reference sequence is representative of an unedited version of the genome. The method also includes identifying, by the computing device, the at least one edit of the one or more edits, based on sequence reads associated with the output genome mapped to the reference sequence relative to one or more reference edit patterns and reporting, by the computing device, the identified at least one edit.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventor: Yuanji ZHANG

Publication number: 20230083583Abstract: The reported method identifies the likelihood that a heritable sequence in a plant is to be passed onto subsequent generations. One or more genome edits are introduced into a plant cell and the gnomic DNA of the resulting plant is analyzed to determine the frequency of the one or more genome edits in the sample. Edits that are present in a quantity above a reference cutoff are considered to have a high likelihood of being heritable and capable of being passed on to subsequent generations. Edits that are present in low quantities are considered to have a low likelihood of being passed on. Plants containing desirable genome edits that are likely to be heritable are then used for cultivation and propagation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: MONSANTO TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Linda RYMARQUIS, Yuanji ZHANG
