摘要:
Methods, systems and computer readable media for calling out genetic aberrations. Log ratio noise associated with log ratio signals read from respective probes on at least one array for signals representative of the same chromosomal locations in a test sample of nucleic acids and a reference sample of nucleic acids applied to the at least one array are estimated. Outliers for log ratio values from the reference sample to outliers for log ratio values from the test sample are compared. A copy number of one or more of the chromosomal locations in the test sample is outputted relative to the reference sample for viewing by a user.

Methods, systems and computer readable media for analyzing data. A variable width window is applied to data points from the data which are ordered to correspond to locations along a chromosome of targeted nucleotide sequences whose relative abundances are represented by the data points. The window applied is a moving window, the width of which is variable upon movement of the window to capture a fixed number of the data points, wherein the width is symmetrical about the data point to which a weighted average is to be assigned. A response function is applied to the data points captured in the window. The response function is symmetrical about the data point to which a weighted average is to be assigned.

Methods, systems and computer readable media for controlling an instrument in communication with a host computer are provided. Operations of an instrument that must be completed on schedule are controlled via an embedded controller embedded in the instrument. A complete status packet is sent to a host computer from the embedded controller. Periodically, the embedded controller repeats the sending of a complete status packet to the host computer, wherein status values in the complete status packet are updated with each iteration of sending a complete status packet.

Methods, systems and computer readable media for characterizing quality of CGH arrays, including generating at least one metric for a CGH array that characterizes a property of the CGH array; repeating generation of the at least one metric for at least one additional CGH array; and comparing each metric across all CGH array metric values generated to identify a quality of any one of the CGH arrays characterized, relative to the CGH arrays characterized for that metric. Methods, systems and computer readable media for determining the quality of a CGH array, including calculating a spread of the derivative of log ratio value differences between consecutive probes representing consecutive positions along a chromosome, wherein ratio values are calculated from probe signals from a CGH array, as read by a reader on first and second channels thereof, or from probes signals from two CGH arrays, as read by a single channel reader. Methods, systems and computer readable media for qualifying a CGH array, including quantifying an interarray reproducibility metric characterizing selected sets of probe replicates. Methods, systems and computer readable media for qualifying a CGH array, including generating a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and analyzing false positive and true positive signals from a normal male sample and a normal female sample, as read by a reader on first and second channels thereof, or from one of a normal male sample and a normal female sample on the CGH array and the other of the normal male sample and normal female sample on a second CGH array, as read by a single-channel reader. Methods, systems and computer readable media for determining the quality of a CGH array, including segmenting, by copy number, log ratio signals from probes on the CGH array representing a genome; plotting a probability distribution of the segmented log ratio values; and quantifying separation between copy number peaks resulting from the plotting of the probability distribution.
摘要:
Methods, systems and computer readable media for removing trends in signal intensity values from features on a chemical array. Inputted signal values from features on the array are surface fitted to calculate a surface approximation. The surface approximation is normalized and used to de-trend the signal intensity values from the features.
