Aspects of the present invention relate to a networked cell culture incubator and to methods for operating such an in-cubator. In one aspect, the cell culture incubator includes a network interface for communicating with a source of parameter data utilized successfully by other incubators. The incubator receives appropriate parameter data and conducts the incubation process as rescribed by the parameter data so as to provide an improved environment for cell culture growth. The incubator may share its own parameter data with the data source for use by other incubators. The incubator and data source may share other forms of data as well.

Disclosed is a registry system, including member institutions, in which transfusion donors and recipients are registered following genotyping, which would typically take place in a member institution, or a member institution would have access to the genotyping information, if performed outside. The registry database can be accessed and searched by members seeking samples of particular type(s). Systems are disclosed for maintaining economic viability of genotyping in connection with transfusions, by maximizing the number of units placed with the minimal number of candidate donors typed. Genotyping of potential donors, and product supply, is matched to forecasted demand. Genotyping can also be limited to the more clinically relevant markers. The registry system can also be integrated with one format of assay which generates an image for analysis, whereby the imaged results can be analyzed and redacted by experts in a central location, and then transmitted back to the patient or their representative.

Systems and methods for processing sequence data are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the system is comprised of a computing device that is configured for receiving, storing, and processing sequence data utilizing object-oriented functions. Sequencing is disclosed herein which provides for the customization of sequencing and analysis processing for next generation sequence processing and analysis. The system may be characterized as a bioinformatics system, which uses object oriented functions to process and store sequencing data efficiently and without the need for extensive programming knowledge. Object instances configured as part of the system may be manipulated, transformed, probed, and shared in memory, yet still saved to the disk. Due to the nature of sequence representation within the system, the required disk space needed is much less than existing bioinformatics programs. In another embodiment, MATLAB is utilized as part of the configuration of the system. Due to its object-oriented approach it may be adapted to more complex development functions and processing. This provides for much needed flexibility and ease of use.

The invention provides a method and system for enabling a user (100) to identify one or more information items which the user (100) or another party has previously accessed, the method comprising the steps of: recording in a computer readable storage medium concurrent attributes (101) concerning one or more events or computer system states occurring concurrently with the previous access of the information items by the user (100) or other party; receiving a search request specification (102) from the user (100) seeking to find one of the previously accessed information items, the search request specification comprising one or more specified concurrent attributes (30,40,50) including at least one unrelated concurrent attribute (50) which bears no relation, other than concurrence, to the previously accessed information item being sought or to the previous access thereof; accessing the recorded concurrent attributes and identifying to the user one or more of the previously accessed information items which satisfy the search request specification.

Systems and methods are provided for improving skincare product formulations to address predicted skin trends. A biomarker analysis system is used to determine concentrations of various protein biomarkers of a user. A skin diagnosis computing device uses the protein biomarker concentrations to determine one or more skin trends, and determines one or more skincare product ingredients to address the skin trends. A skincare product is compounded that includes the one or more skincare product ingredients.

There is provided a genome analysis device configured to analyze genome data including a large quantity of fragmented genome base sequences, and transmit output data concerning the genome data in response to an output request from a client device connected via a network, the genome analysis device including; a storage unit for storing data for visualization of multiple different layers, for the genome data; a request receiving unit for receiving an output request from the client device; and an output data generating unit for selecting data for visualization of a layer corresponding to the output request from the storage when the request receiving unit receives the output request, and generating output data based on the data for visualization of the selected layer.

The present invention relates to methods for the analysis of nucleic acids present in biological samples, and more specifically to normalize a high resolution melt curve to assist in the identification of one or more properties of the nucleic acids. The present invention provides methods and systems that incorporate a background identification algorithm according to invention principles using raw melt curve data to identify reactions that are unrelated actual DNA melt reactions. Furthermore, a web-based application for analyzing experimental data is provided. The raw experimental data obtained from a variety of instruments is processed and analyzed on a server and presented to a user through a user interface (UI).

This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that can flexibly and efficiently change versions of a variant analysis model for different genomic analysis applications. For example, the disclosed systems can determine a particular version of a variant analysis model indicated by a genomic analysis application and can update a genomic analysis device (e.g., FPGA, CPU) by installing the indicated version of the variant analysis model.
