Abstract:
System and methods for the determination of a copy number of a target genomic sequence; either a target gene or genomic sequence of interest, in a biological sample are described. Various methods utilize a model drawn from a probability density function (PDF) for the assignment of a copy number of a target genomic sequence in a biological sample. Additionally, the methods provide for the determination of a confidence value for a copy number assigned to a sample based on attributes of the sample data. Additionally, various embodiments of an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) may provide an end-user with ready analysis of large sets of data representing a plurality of samples. In various embodiments of an interactive GUI, an end-user may be provided with a synchronized display of tabular and graphical sample data determined by an initial analysis according to a statistical model of a PDF. Such a synchronized display may enable an end-user to readily identify sample data for a subsequent analysis based on user input.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of methods for analyzing proximity binding assay (PBA) data are disclosed. Proximity binding assays as a class of analyses offer the advantages of the sensitivity and specificity of biorecognition binding, along with the exponential signal amplification offered by a variety of oligonucleotide amplification reactions, such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, as various proximity binding assays have reaction kinetics governed by an additional step of the binding of a biorecognition probe (BRP) with a target molecule, there is a need for methods for the analysis of PBA data that are particularly suited to the unique characteristics of such data.

Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for generating a data visualization for operating a digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) system comprises, the method comprising receiving fluorescent emission data comprising a plurality of data points corresponding to fluorescence emission from a plurality of reaction sites of a substrate, the fluorescent emission data indicative of presence or absence of amplification product of a dPCR. The method further comprises displaying a data visualization of the plurality of data points in a spatial representation of the substrate such that each data point is displayed at a relative spatial location of its corresponding reaction site of the plurality of reaction sites of the substrate, a first set of data points being displayed with a first indication based on meeting a first quality value threshold and second set of data points being displayed with a second indication, differing from the first indication, based on a second quality value threshold.
Abstract:
A method for generating a data visualization is provided. The method includes displaying a representation of a portion of detected data from a substrate to a user. The method further includes generating a data quality value for the portion of detected data and displaying, along with the representation of the portion of detected data, an indication of data quality value for the portion of detected data. The method further includes selecting, by the user, a quality value threshold, and displaying an adjusted indication of data quality value for the portion of detected data meeting the quality value threshold.
