Abstract:
According to the present invention, a phylogenetic tree can be created on the basis of frequency data regarding a large number of mutations detected from the samples of a cancer. Each sample to be analyzed contains a mixture of plural clones having different genomes. Mutations having about the same frequencies are grouped to make plural groups, and an analysis is executed based on data listing the mutation frequencies of individual groups (called mutation group frequency data). It is assumed that pairs of clones corresponding respectively to mutation groups such that frequencies of one group is equal to or greater than that of another in all the samples have parent-child relations, and a graph structure having the clones as vertices and the parent-child relations as edges is created. In this graph, parent-child relations contradictory to the mutation group frequency data are removed, and a clone to become a parent is selected in consideration of correlation coefficients among the mutation group frequencies in the samples.
Abstract:
A pathogenicity determination device of the present disclosure includes: an input device that receives inputs of genetic mutation information indicating a genetic mutation, and genetic mutation-related information related to the genetic mutation information; a processor that estimates a first score related to presence or absence of a pathological significance of the genetic mutation and a second score related to strength or sufficiency of evidence related to the genetic mutation, based on the genetic mutation information and the genetic mutation-related information; and an output device that outputs the estimated first score and the estimated second score.
Abstract:
Labeled positions alignment capable of dealing with apparent expansion and contraction of a target nucleic acid sequence is performed. An information processing device calculates first ratios of intervals between partial sequences in a reference nucleic acid sequence, constructs an index indicating a combination of the first ratios and information indicating a position of a partial sequence in the nucleic acid sequence corresponding to the combination of the first ratios, calculates second ratios of intervals between partial sequences in a target nucleic acid sequence, extracts a combination of the first ratios corresponding to a combination of the second ratios based on a comparison result between the combination of the second ratios and the combination of the first ratios indicated by the index, and outputs information indicating a position of a partial sequence corresponding to the extracted combination of the first ratios in the reference nucleic acid sequence.
