摘要： A processing system uses a Bayesian inference based model for targeted sequencing or variant calling. In an embodiment, the processing system generates candidate variants of a cell free nucleic acid sample. The processing system determines likelihoods of true alternate frequencies for each of the candidate variants in the cell free nucleic acid sample and in a corresponding genomic nucleic acid sample. The processing system filters or scores the candidate variants by the model using at least the likelihoods of true alternate frequencies. The processing system outputs the filtered candidate variants, which may be used to generate features for a predictive cancer or disease model.

摘要： Systems and methods for classifier training are provided. A first dataset is obtained that comprises, for each first subject, a corresponding plurality of bin values, each for a bin in a plurality of bins, and subject cancer condition. A feature extraction technique is applied to the first dataset thereby obtaining feature extraction functions, each of which is an independent linear or nonlinear function of bin values of the bins. A second dataset is obtained comprising, for each second subject, a corresponding plurality of bin values, each for a bin in the plurality of bins and subject cancer condition. The plurality of bin values of each corresponding subject in the second plurality are projected onto the respective feature extraction functions, thereby forming a transformed second dataset comprising feature values for each subject. The transformed second dataset and subject cancer condition serves to train a classifier on the cancer condition set.

摘要： Systems and methods for determining a cancer class of a subject are provided in which a plurality of sequence reads, in electronic form, are obtained from a biological sample of the subject. The sample comprises a plurality of cell-free DNA molecules including respective DNA molecules longer than a threshold length of less than 160 nucleotides. The plurality of sequence reads excludes sequence reads of cell-free DNA molecules in the plurality of cell-free DNA molecules longer than the threshold length. The plurality of sequence reads is used to identify a relative copy number at each respective genomic location in a plurality of genomic locations in the genome of the subject. The genetic information about the subject obtained from the sample and the genetic information consisting of the identification of the relative copy number at each respective genomic location, is applied to a classifier that determines the cancer class of the subject.

摘要： Technical solutions for classifying patients with respect to multiple cancer classes are provided. The classification can be done using cell-free whole genome sequencing information from subjects. A reference set of subjects is used to train classifiers to recognize genomic markers that distinguish such cancer classes. The classifier training includes dividing the reference genome into a set of non-overlapping bins, applying a dimensionality reduction method to obtain a feature set, and using the feature set to train classifiers. For subjects with unknown cancer class, the trained classifiers provide probabilities or likelihoods that the subject has a respective cancer class for each cancer in a set of cancer classes. The present disclosure thus describes methods to improve the screening and detection of cancer class from among several cancer classes. This serves to facilitate early and appropriate treatment for subjects afflicted with cancer.

摘要： Provided herein are methods for enriching a biological sample for a target nucleic acid, and analyzing the nucleic acid. In some cases, a biological sample is enriched for target nucleic acids associated with a cancer or tumor. In some cases, a biological sample is enriched for target nucleic acids, and the target nucleic acids vary in length. In some cases, one or more probes are used to enrich the biological sample for the target nucleic acid. In some cases, one or more probes hybridize to one or more ends of a target nucleic acid.
