Abstract:
A compression method includes measuring a waveform associated with a chemical event occurring on a sensor array, wherein the waveform comprises at least one region associated with expected measured values and at least one region associated with unpredictable measured values; applying a first compression process to the waveform, the first compression process including an averaging of one or more frames in one or more portions of the waveform; and applying a second compression process to the waveform, the second compression process including a truncating of data corresponding to a portion of the waveform that is not related to a nucleotide incorporation component of the waveform.
Abstract:
Methods for assessing genomic instability (GI) may include selectively amplifying nucleic acid sequences at targeted locations in a tumor sample genome by a targeted panel with a low sample input to generate a plurality of nucleic acid sequence reads; dividing the genome into segments having homogeneous copy numbers using log odds of heterozygous SNPs and CNV log ratios determined for the nucleic acid sequence reads; applying a threshold count to squared allelic log odds of each segment in autosomes of the genome to identify unbalanced copy number (UCN) segments; adding numbers of bases in the UCN segments to produce a sum of UCN bases; and dividing the sum of UCN bases by the total number of bases in all the segments identified in the autosomes of the sample genome to produce a ratio indicative of genomic instability. The ratio may be expressed as a percent to give a GI score.
