Abstract:
Systems and method for identifying long deletions can obtain sequencing information for a plurality of amplicons in and around a potential region from a nucleic acid sample. The sequencing information can include a plurality of reads that can be mapped to a reference sequence. Using information, such as where reads map to a reference sequence and relative abundance of reads for the amplicons, structural variants can be identified and a determination can be made if the nucleic acid sample is homozygous or heterozygous for the structural variant.
Abstract:
A method for evaluating variant likelihood includes: providing a plurality of template polynucleotide strands, sequencing primers, and polymerase in a plurality of defined spaces disposed on a sensor array; exposing the plurality of template polynucleotide strands, sequencing primers, and polymerase to a series of flows of nucleotide species according to a predetermined order; obtaining measured values corresponding to an ensemble of sequencing reads for at least some of the template polynucleotide strands in at least one of the defined spaces; and evaluating a likelihood that a variant sequence is present given the measured values corresponding to the ensemble of sequencing reads, the evaluating comprising: determining a measurement confidence value for each read in the ensemble of sequencing reads and modifying at least some model-predicted values using a first bias for forward strands and a second bias for reverse strands.

Abstract:
Systems and method for determining variants can receive mapped reads and determine a distribution of matched-filter residuals distribution from a plurality of reads at a homopolymer region. The distribution of matched-filter residuals can be fit to uni-modal and bi-modal models. Based on the model that best fits the distribution of matched-filter residuals, the heterozygosity of the sample and the absence or presence of an insertion/deletion in the homopolymer can be determined.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for analyzing overlapping sequence information can obtain first and second overlapping sequence information for a polynucleotide, align the first and second sequence information, determine a degree of agreement between the first and second sequence information for a location along the polynucleotide, and determine a base call and a quality value for the location.
