    摘要: A computer-implemented method for inferring genetic ancestry from low-coverage genomic data may include (i) generating a reference matrix representing a genetic reference panel in terms of dosages for given reference samples at given loci, (ii) decomposing the reference matrix via non-negative matrix factorization into an ancestral genotype matrix and an ancestral attribution matrix, (iii) resampling the reference matrix, (iv) deriving an ancestral alternate reads matrix that, when multiplied with the ancestral attribution matrix, approximates the resampled reference matrix, (v) deriving an ancestral attribution vector that, when multiplied with the ancestral alternate reads matrix, approximates a vector representing the test sample, and (vi) determining the genetic ancestry of the subject based on the ancestral attribution vector. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of determining whether a human subject is not a carrier of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). This method includes the steps of (i) collecting a genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sample from a human subject; (ii) screening the genomic DNA sample to determine the human subject's copy number of survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene and whether one of the copies of the SMN1 gene is positive for a polymorphism associated with non-carriers of SMA having two copies of the SMN1 gene; and (iii) determining the human subject as not a carrier of SMA if the human subject includes two copies of the SMN1 gene with one of those copies being positive for the polymorphism. Also disclosed is a method of determining whether an individual has a decreased risk of being a carrier of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), where the individual is identified to have a decreased risk of being a carrier of SMA when the individual has two copies of the SMN1 gene with one of those copies being positive for the polymorphism.

    摘要: High-fidelity, high-throughput nucleic acid sequencing enables healthcare practitioners and patients to gain insight into genetic variants and potential health risks. However, previous methods of nucleic acid sequencing often introduces sequencing errors (for example, mutations that arise during the preparation of a nucleic acid library, during amplification, or sequencing). Provided herein are methods and compositions for sequencing nucleic acids. Further provided are methods of identifying an error in a nucleic acid sequence.

    摘要: A method of identifying and quantifying copy number variations in a gene of interest for a genomic DNA sample includes (i) fragmenting a genomic DNA sample to produce a plurality of polynucleotide fragments, (ii) isolating a plurality of target polynucleotide fragments, (iii) sequencing the plurality of target polynucleotide fragments, (iv) aligning fragment sequences to a reference sequence, (v) calculating read depths for base positions of the plurality of target polynucleotide fragments, (vi) calculating copy number likelihoods for each base position of the reference sequence, (vii) performing a breakpoint analysis on a set of fragment sequences to identify at least one sequence variation located between selected breakpoint regions of the target gene and calculate modified copy number likelihoods for base positions of the reference sequence based on the at least one sequence variation, and (viii) determining whether the target gene includes at least one copy number variation.
