20090174654 | COMPUTERIZED INTERACTOR SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING SAME - A computerized interactor system uses physical, three-dimensional objects as metaphors for input of user intent to a computer system. When one or more interactors are engaged with a detection field, the detection field reads an identifier associated with the object and communicates the identifier to a computer system.

20130085728 | Method And System For Phasing Individual Genomes In The Context Of Clinical Interpretation - The present disclosure presents a unified system to phase a personal genome for downstream clinical interpretation. In an embodiment, an initial phasing is generated using public datasets, such as haplotypes from the 1000 Genomes Project, and a phasing toolkit. A local perturbation algorithm is applied to improve long range phasing. If available, a Mendelian inheritance pipeline is applied to identify phasing of novel and rare variants. These datasets are merged, followed by correction by any experimental data. This allows for full clinical interpretation of the role of a group of variants in a gene, whether inherited or de novo variants. | 04-04-2013 |
20130297221 | Method and System for Accurate Construction Of Long Range Haplotype - In an embodiment of the present invention, a modified version of the PHASE model is implemented that is substantially more accurate than the FastPHASE model. Modifications in an embodiment of the present invention include using a parameterization EM algorithm similar to that of the FastPHASE model, and to perform optimization on haplotypes rather than MCMC sampling. In an embodiment, the imputed haplotypes themselves are used as hidden states in the HMM because this is believed to be important for the PHASE model's accuracy. This increase in accuracy becomes more pronounced with increasing sample size. This difference is attributed to the PHASE model's likelihood which produces long, shared haplotypes between pairs of individuals. | 11-07-2013 |
