摘要: A random sequence generation of defined values may be provided. A method comprises pre-loading a RAM block with an initial list comprising the defined values of a sequence of values to be updated, and shuffling the defined values of the sequence using a counter and a random offset for indices in the list.

摘要: A data storage medium is disclosed comprising a substrate covered with alternating layers of a polycationic molecule and artificially synthesized DNA molecules encoding digital information. The magnetic substrate may be a metallic nanoparticle formed from a metal such as iron or cobalt. The polycationic molecule may be polyethyleneimine (PEI). The DNA is protected from degradation by encapsulation in silica. A process for stably storing DNA is also disclosed. Stored DNA may be freed from the silica for sequencing or other analysis by washing the silica-coated DNA with a buffered hydrogen fluoride solution. Storage densities of more than 7% DNA by weight are achieved on nanoparticles.

摘要: In one aspect, the present invention relates to a method 200 for identifying one or more phenotypes from a multi-parameter data set. The method 200 comprises measuring 202 correlation between pairs of parameters within the multi-parameter data set, modifying 204 correlated parameter values within a predetermined multi-parameter data analysis set to form an analysis parameter set, and analyzing 206 the multi-parameter data set using the analysis parameter set to identify one or more phenotypes from the multi-parameter data set. Various embodiments of the present invention may, for example, be used in an automated high-content screening (HCS) apparatus 100 for biological cellular analysis.

摘要: Techniques for construction of internal controls for improved accuracy and sensitivity of DNA testing include obtaining first data and determining weights over real numbers for a normalization function in less than a day. The first data indicates a measured amount of reference sequences for nucleic acids from training samples. The reference sequences include a target, for which an abundance is indicative of a condition of interest, and covariates not correlated with the condition of interest. The normalization function involves a sum of abundances of the covariates, as internal controls, each multiplied by a corresponding one of the weights. The weights are determined based on minimizing variance of a Taylor expansion of a ratio of a measured amount of the target divided by a value of the normalization function evaluated with measured amounts of the covariates over a portion of the first data in which the condition is absent.

摘要: The invention provides methods for identifying rare variants near a structural variation in a genetic sequence, for example, in a nucleic acid sample taken from a subject. The invention additionally includes methods for aligning reads (e.g., nucleic acid reads) to a reference sequence construct accounting for the structural variation, methods for building a reference sequence construct accounting for the structural variation or the structural variation and the rare variant, and systems that use the alignment methods to identify rare variants. The method is scalable, and can be used to align millions of reads to a construct thousands of bases long, or longer.

摘要: A system and machine-implemented method for sorting Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) reads in O(n) time and space complexity that makes use low sparsity and nearly uniform distribution of the input array. The genome position field in the input array is used to determine the target position of the output array. Duplicate target positions due to n-fold coverage are handled by assigning either overflow buckets to each position or anterior assigning multiple target slots in the output array for each genome position depending on the distribution of reads over the genome and the resulting probability of hitting an already occupied slot. Once every tuple in the input array has been written to the output array, the output array in read through ascending order and each tuple is appended to the end of a final result array.

摘要: Improved multi-cell nanopore-based sequencing chips and methods can employ formation, characterization, calibration, and/or normalization techniques. For example, various methods may include one or more steps of performing physical checks of cell circuitry, forming and characterizing a lipid layer on the cells, performing a zero point calibration of the cells, forming and characterizing nanopores on the lipid layers of each cell, performing a sequencing operation to accumulate sequencing signals from the cells, normalizing those sequencing signals, and determining bases based on the normalized sequencing signals.

摘要: Methods and systems for determining amino acid sequence of a polypeptide or protein from mass spectrometry data is provided, using a weighted de Bruijn graph. Extracted and purified protein is cleaved into a mixture of peptide and then analyzed using mass spectrometry. A list of peptide sequences is derived from mass spectrometry fragment data by de novo sequencing, and amino acid confidence scores are determined from peak fragment ion intensity. A weighted de Bruijn graph is constructed for the list of peptide sequences having node weights defined by k−1 mer confidence scores. At least one contig is assembled from the de Bruijn graph by identifying node weights having the highest k−1 mer confidence scores.

摘要: The invention discloses methods and apparatuses for the detection and diagnostics of genetic alterations/mutations in a target sample, which may be a solid tissue or a bodily fluid. A reference sample is also acquired, and the target and reference samples are replicated into multiple target and reference replicates. The replicates are sequenced, and the sequence data is analyzed based on a statistical test. The statistical test compares the measurements between the target and reference replicates at respective allelic indices. True positive calls are then made based on the results of the statistical testing, and the desired genetic alterations/mutations are identified at the base-pair level. The invention may be used for diagnostics related to cancer, auto-immune disease, organ transplant rejection, genetic fetal abnormalities and pathogens.
