Systems And Methods For Identifying Exon Junctions From Single Reads

US Patent:
20110270532, Nov 3, 2011
Filed:
Apr 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/097328
Inventors:
Paolo VATTA - San Mateo CA, US
Onur Sakarya - Foster City CA, US
Heinz Breu - Palo Alto CA, US
Liviu Popescu - Sunnyvale CA, US
Asim Siddiqui - San Francisco CA, US
Fiona Hyland - San Mateo CA, US
Assignee:
LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
G01N 33/48
US Classification:
702 20
Abstract:
Systems and methods are used to identify an exon junction from a single read of a transcript. A transcript sample is interrogated and a read sequence is produced using a nucleic acid sequencer. A first exon sequence and a second exon sequence are obtained using the processor. The first exon sequence is mapped to a prefix of the read sequence using the processor. The second exon sequence is mapped to a suffix of the read sequence using the processor. A sum of a number of sequence elements of the first exon sequence that overlap the prefix of the read sequence, of a number of sequence elements of the second exon sequence that overlap the suffix of the read sequence, and of a constant is calculated using the processor. If the sum equals a length of the read sequence, a junction is identified in the read using the processor.

Systems And Methods For Sequence Data Alignment Quality Assessment

US Patent:
20120011086, Jan 12, 2012
Filed:
Jul 6, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/177267
Inventors:
Zheng ZHANG - Pasadena CA, US
Sowmi Utiramerur - Cupertino CA, US
Fiona Hyland - San Mateo CA, US
Assignee:
LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
G06N 3/02
US Classification:
706 20
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for classifying alignments of paired nucleic acid sequence reads is disclosed. A plurality of paired nucleic acid sequence reads is received, wherein each read is comprised of a first tag and a second tag separated by an insert region. Potential alignments for the first and second tags of each read to a reference sequence is determined, wherein the potential alignments satisfies a minimum threshold mismatch constraint. Potential paired alignments of the first and second tags of each read are identified, wherein a distance between the first and second tags of each potential paired alignment is within an estimated insert size range. An alignment score is calculated for each potential paired alignment based on a distance between the first and second tags and a total number of mismatches for each tag.

Systems And Methods To Detect Copy Number Variation

US Patent:
20120046877, Feb 23, 2012
Filed:
Jul 5, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/176471
Inventors:
Fiona HYLAND - San Mateo CA, US
Rajesh Gottimukkala - Foster City CA, US
Assignee:
LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
702 20
Abstract:
In one aspect, a system for implementing a copy number variation analysis method, is disclosed. The system can include a nucleic acid sequencer and a computing device in communications with the nucleic acid sequencer. The nucleic acid sequencer can be configured to interrogate a sample to produce a nucleic acid sequence data file containing a plurality of nucleic acid sequence reads. In various embodiments, the computing device can be a workstation, mainframe computer, personal computer, mobile device, etc.The computing device can comprise a sequencing mapping engine, a coverage normalization engine, a segmentation engine and a copy number variation identification engine. The sequence mapping engine can be configured to align the plurality of nucleic acid sequence reads to a reference sequence, wherein the aligned nucleic acid sequence reads merge to form a plurality of chromosomal regions. The coverage normalization engine can be configured to divide each chromosomal region into one or more non-overlapping window regions, determine nucleic acid sequence read coverage for each window region and normalize the nucleic acid sequence read coverage determined for each window region to correct for bias. The segmentation engine can be configured to convert the normalized nucleic acid sequence read coverage for each window region to discrete copy number states. The copy number variation identification engine can be configured to identify copy number variation in the chromosomal regions by utilizing the copy number states of each window region.

Assignee:
LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707758, 707E17014
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer program products for aligning a fragment sequence to a target sequencing. The alignment is allowed at most one gap, such as an insertion or a deletion.
