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:
Systems and method for validation of sequencing results can amplify a target region of a nucleic acid sample in the presence of a primer pool including target specific and variant specific primers. The variant specific primers can include variant specific barcodes and variant specific sequences. An amplicon can be sequenced to determine the sequence of the variant specific barcode. The variant can be identified based on the sequence of the variant specific barcode, and the location of the variant can be determined by mapping the amplicon to a reference sequence.

Abstract:
Systems and method for identifying variants associated with a genetic disease can include obtaining calls for a plurality of individuals for a list of variant positions. The calls can be compared to identify variants that are found in affected individuals and absent in non-affected individuals. Such variants can include loss of heterozygosity, trans-phased compound heterozygotes, increased frequency mitochondrial variants, homozygous recessive variants, de novo variants, sex-linked variants, and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
A targeted panel with low sample input requirements from a tumor only sample may be processed to estimate mutation load in a tumor sample. The method may include detecting variants in nucleic acid sequence reads corresponding to targeted locations in the tumor sample genome; annotating detected variants with an annotation information from a population database; filtering the detected variants, wherein the filtering rule set retains the somatic variants and removes germ-line variants; counting the identified somatic variants to give a number of somatic variants; determining a number of bases in covered regions of the targeted locations in the tumor sample genome; and calculating a number of somatic variants per megabase, provides an estimate of the mutation load per megabase in the tumor sample genome.
Abstract:
A method for detecting a gene fusion includes amplifying a nucleic acid sample in the presence of primer pool to produce a plurality of amplicons. The primer pool includes primers targeting a plurality of exon-exon junctions of a driver gene. The amplicons correspond to the exon-exon junctions. The amplicons are sequenced and aligned to a reference sequence. The number of reads corresponding to each amplicon is normalized to give a normalized read count. A baseline correction is applied to the normalized read counts for the amplicons to form corrected read counts. A binary segmentation score is calculated for each corrected read count. A predicted breakpoint for the gene fusion is determined based on the amplicon index corresponding to the maximum absolute binary segmentation score. Gene fusion events may be detected in a partner agnostic manner, i.e. without prior knowledge of the specific fusion partner genes or specific breakpoint information.
Abstract:
The method includes compressing numbers of reads data for targeted genes of a gene expression assay performed on a test sample. The targeted genes are organized into categories. Each category represents a functional context associated with the targeted genes in that category. The numbers of reads corresponding to targeted genes each category is compressed to form a compressed value for the category. The compressed value is compared to a baseline value for the category to determine an enrichment or a loss of a signature corresponding to the functional context of the category. The method may include analyzing information from multiple assays performed on the test sample, assigning a score value to each assay result and predicting a response to immune-oncology treatment based on the assigned scores.
