Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or computer-program products for generating a photo composite are configured to identify a facial photo, assign a community such as a genetic community to the identified facial photo, select and retrieve a subset of photos from a genetic community, determine a landmark in each photo of the subset of photos, compute and apply a similarity transform to each photo based and its landmarks, update estimates of transformed averaged landmarks, calculate a triangularization of the transformed averaged landmarks, warp images to the average image landmarks, and combine the intensities of the warped images. The communities are identified from genetic information. The facial photos are identified from a network of genealogical trees and/or a collection of historical records.

Abstract: A computing device may receive a target data instance. The computing device may identify a plurality of matched segments that match to the target data instance for at least a threshold length. The computing device may define, based on overlapping of the matched segments, the target data instance as a plurality of data string ranges, wherein each divided data string is matched to a set of overlapping matched segments. The computing device may apply an iterative clustering algorithm to group the plurality of data string ranges based on values of a similarity metric among data string ranges that are assigned to a given group. The computing device may attribute a first set of data string ranges that are assigned to a first group to a first inheritance.

Abstract: A sample collection system can include a sample collection vessel having a sample collection chamber with an opening configured to receive a sample into the sample collection chamber. The sample collection system can additionally include a selectively movable sleeve valve configured to associate with the opening of the sample collection chamber. The sample collection system can include a sealing cap that is configured to associate with the selectively movable sleeve valve and with the sample collection vessel. The sealing cap can include a reagent chamber having reagent(s) stored therein, and when the sealing cap is associated with the sample collection vessel, the selectively movable sleeve valve opens, dispensing the reagent(s) into the sample collection chamber. When the selectively moveable sleeve associates with the sample collection chamber, an outer sleeve slides relative to an inner vessel, opening the sleeve and dispensing reagent into the sample collection chamber.

Abstract: The disclosed system links an individual dataset to a database. The system receives a target individual dataset associated with a target individual and identifies candidate individual datasets that are potentially related to the target individual dataset. The system identifies a related individual dataset that has data bits that match some data bits in the target individual dataset. The system then identifies a parent node that is a common parent node to both the target individual dataset and the related individual dataset. The system retrieves a data tree that the parent node belongs to with the data tree containing information describing inter-relationships among datasets in the data tree. A node in the data tree is identified to assign the target individual dataset based on strings of matched data bits and number of the matched strings between the target individual dataset and the datasets in the data tree.

Abstract: A computing server generates a graph such as an identity-by-descent (IBD) network. The graph includes a plurality of nodes. Each node represents one of the individuals. Two or more nodes are connected through edges. Each edge connecting two nodes and associated with a weight that is derived from affinity between the genetic data of the two individuals represented by the two nodes. The computing system filters the graph based on features that are associated with the edges or the nodes. The filtered graph includes a subset of nodes. The computing system divides the filtered graph into a plurality of clusters to identify genetic communities that may not be discoverable without filtering. The computing server may also perform a multi-path hierarchical community detection process to assign an individual represented by a node to more than one communities.
