Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives one or more segments for content from a first content delivery network during a playback session for the content. The content includes a number of segments. The method evaluates buffer occupancy of a buffer configured to store segments of the content for playback and evaluates a number of times of a failure to download a segment for the content. The buffer occupancy is compared to a first threshold and the number of times of the failure to a second threshold. The method determines a switch from the first content delivery network to a second content delivery network during the playback session based on the comparing.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for linking non-coding variants and candidate genes that are associated with one another through long-range chromatin interactions. Thus, these non-coding variants may be involved in the expression of a candidate gene and therefore, serve as possible therapeutic targets for treating diseases in which the expression fo the candidate gene is dysreguated. A non-coding variant can be linked to a candidate gene by analyzing datasets including chromatin accessibility data (e.g., ATAC-seq data), protein-chromatin binding site pairing data, and/or chromatin contact profile. For example, a non-coding variant can be linked to a candidate gene by identifying an enhancer-promoter loop through a long range chromatin interaction. As another example, a non-coding variant can be linked to a candidate gene through a statistical eQTL analysis.
