Patent number: 11632125Abstract: A method of compressive read mapping. A high-resolution homology table is created for the reference genomic sequence, preferably by mapping the reference to itself. Once the homology table is created, the reads are compressed to eliminate full or partial redundancies across reads in the dataset. Preferably, compression is achieved through self-mapping of the read dataset. Next, a coarse mapping from the compressed read data to the reference is performed. Each read link generated represents a cluster of substrings from one or more reads in the dataset and stores their differences from a locus in the reference. Preferably, read links are further expanded to obtain final mapping results through traversal of the homology table, and final mapping results are reported. As compared to prior techniques, substantial speed-up gains are achieved through the compressive read mapping technique due to efficient utilization of redundancy within read sequences as well as the reference.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Inventors: Bonnie Berger Leighton, Deniz Yorukoglu, Jian Peng

Patent number: 11600360Abstract: Polynucleotide sequencing generates multiple reads of a polynucleotide molecule. Many or all of the reads contain errors. Trace reconstruction takes multiple reads generated by a polynucleotide sequencer and uses those multiple reads to reconstruct accurately the nucleotide sequence of the polynucleotide molecule. Some reads may contain errors that cannot be corrected. Thus, there may be reads that can be used throughout their entire length and other reads that have indeterminant errors which cannot be corrected. Rather than discarding the entire read when an indeterminant error is found, the portion of the read with the error is skipped and the sequence of the read following the error is used to reconstruct the trace. The amount of the read skipped is determined by the location of subsequence after the error that matches a consensus sequence of the other reads. Analysis resumes at a location determined by the location of the match.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sergey Mikhailovich Yekhanin, Miklos Zoltan Racz

Patent number: 11314514Abstract: A data processing system 2 supporting vector processing operations uses scaling vector length querying instructions. The scaling vector length querying instructions return a result which is dependent upon a number of elements in a vector for a variable vector element size specified by the instruction and multiplied by a scaling value specified by the instruction. The scaling vector length querying instructions may be in the form of count instructions, increment instructions or decrement instructions. The instructions may include a pattern constraint applying a constraint, such as modulo(M) or power of 2 to the partial result value representing the number of vector elements provided for the register element size specified for the instruction.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Arm LimitedInventors: Nigel John Stephens, Grigorios Magklis, Alejandro Martinez Vicente, Nathanael Premillieu

Patent number: 11302418Abstract: The current invention concerns a computer-implemented method, a computer system and a tangible non-transitory computer-readable data carrier comprising a computer program product for aligning a query nucleic acid sequence against a reference nucleic acid sequence. An optimal alignment score of the query sequence against the reference sequence is determined by a dynamic programming algorithm. The algorithm is configured for locally optimizing a partial alignment score based on a nucleotide substitution cost, a gap insertion cost, an amino acid substitution cost, as well as a frameshift penalty.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Emweb bvbaInventor: Koen Deforche

Patent number: 11250932Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of identifying infections, such as methods of identifying bacterial infections which utilize whole metagenome sequence analysis to sequence the entire wound microbiome of clinical samples. The disclosed methods use fast k-mer based sequence analysis, predictive modeling, and Bayesian network analysis, to analyze bacterial metagenomic sequence compositions in conjunction with clinical factors to stratify communities of bacteria into healing versus non-healing clusters. The methods of identifying infections can include performing molecular analysis of a patient wound sample, preparing the data obtained from the molecular analysis, diagnosing the wound sample and/or prognosing the wound sample. The disclosed methods can also be used to identify protein function as well as novel biomarkers.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2015Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Arizona Board of Regents on Behalf of the University of ArizonaInventors: George S.

Patent number: 11205501Abstract: Determination of a frequency distribution of nucleotide sequence variants—differing from a nucleotide reference by at least one intermediate part—of a sample is disclosed. A reference set of sequence read data is generated by performing a plurality of reference sequence reads (each having a read start site, RSS) for each sequence reference variant of a reference variant list. It is determined (for each RSS and for the intermediate part of each sequence reference variant) whether the intermediate part is detectable by corresponding reference sequence read. A sample set of sequence read data is generated by performing sample sequence reads for the sample, and a total number of occurrences in the sample set is determined for each RSS and for the intermediate part of each sequence reference variant. The frequency distribution of the plurality of nucleotide sequence variants is determined based on the number of occurrences determined for an RSS where the intermediate part is detectable.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: TIGERQ ABInventors: David Yudovich, Jonas Larsson

Patent number: 11193175Abstract: Values for tumor mutation burden from different samples can be made more comparable to each other or control standards by a normalization regime that takes into account the minor allele fraction of highly rated mutations in a sample. Such analysis can provide an indication where the tumor mutation burden of a test sample lies on a distribution of tumor mutation burdens in a control population, and thus, whether the individual providing the test sample is likely to be amenable to immunotherapy to treat cancer.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: GUARDANT HEALTH, INC.Inventor: Darya Chudova
