Patent number: 9977708Abstract: Error correction in ancestry classification includes obtaining, from a classifier, initial ancestry classifications associated with portions of two phased haplotypes of a chromosome pair of an individual; performing error correction on an initial ancestry classification, including detecting a phasing error in the initial ancestry classifications; and outputting a corrected ancestry classification in which the phasing error is corrected.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: 23andMe, Inc.Inventors: Chuong Do, Eric Durand, John Michael Macpherson

Patent number: 8428886Abstract: Determining a genetic sequence for a particular site on an individual's genome is disclosed, including: receiving a measurement associated with a particular sequence for the particular site on the individual's genome, receiving contextual information associated with a context of the individual within a larger collection of genetic information, and using the measurement associated with the particular sequence and the contextual information to compute an improved determination of the genetic sequence at the particular site on the individual's genome.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2009Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: 23andMe, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Wong, Oleksiy Khomenko, Serge Saxonov, Brian Thomas Naughton, Lawrence Hon

Patent number: 11803777Abstract: Displaying an indication of ancestral data is disclosed. An indication that a genetic interval corresponds to a reference interval that has a likelihood of having one or more ancestral origins is received. One or more graphic display parameters are determined based at least in part on the indication. An indication of the one or more ancestral origins is visually displayed using the one or more graphic display parameters.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2023Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: 23andMe, Inc.Inventors: John Michael Macpherson, Brian Thomas Naughton, Joanna Louise Mountain

Patent number: 8543339Abstract: Gamete donor selection includes receiving a specification including a phenotype of interest, receiving a genotype of a recipient and a plurality of genotypes of a respective plurality of donors, determining statistical information pertaining to the phenotype of interest based at least in part on different pairings of the genotype of the recipient and a genotype of a donor in the plurality of donors, and identifying a preferred donor among the plurality of donors, based at least in part on the statistical information determined.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2009Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: 23andMe, Inc.Inventors: Anne Wojcicki, Linda Avey, Joanna Louise Mountain, John Michael Macpherson, Joyce Yeh-hong Tung

Patent number: 8645343Abstract: Processing genetic data is disclosed, including: receiving two or more genetic data sets for an individual from one or more genetic data sources; merging the genetic data sets from the one or more genetic data sources, including identifying a duplicate SNP between the genetic data sets and determining one or more data values to be stored for the duplicate SNP; and storing a single set of merged genetic data for the individual.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2009Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: 23andMe, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Wong, Oleksiy Khomenko, Serge Saxonov, Brian Thomas Naughton, Lawrence Hon

Patent number: 11735323Abstract: A method, software, database and system for attribute partner identification and social network based attribute analysis are presented in which attribute profiles associated with individuals can be compared and potential partners identified. Connections can be formed within social networks based on analysis of genetic and non-genetic data. Degrees of attribute separation (genetic and non-genetic) can be utilized to analyze relationships and to identify individuals who might benefit from being connected.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: 23andMe, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Alexander Kenedy, Charles Anthony Eldering

Patent number: 8463554Abstract: Determining relative relationship includes receiving recombinable deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) information of a first user and recombinable DNA information of a second user, determining, based at least in part on the recombinable DNA information of the first user and recombinable DNA information of the second user, a predicted degree of relationship between the first user and the second user, and in the event that the expected degree of relationship between the first user and the second user at least meets the threshold, notifying at least the first user about a relative relationship with the second user.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2009Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: 23andMe, Inc.Inventors: Lawrence Hon, Serge Saxonov, Brian Thomas Naughton, Joanna Louise Mountain, Anne Wojcicki, Linda Avey
