Method to detect repeat sequence motifs in nucleic acid
Methods for determining the presence or absence of expansion of CGG repeat sequence in the FMR1 gene presence or absence of expansion of CCG repeat sequence in the FMR2 gene are provided. The methods are useful in identifying an individual with normal/intermediate, versus premutation or full mutation allele of FMR1 gene and FMR2 gene due to the expansion of CGG repeats and CCG repeats in the 5′-untranslated region respectively. The methods are also useful for screening newborns for fragile X syndrome or for screening women to determine heterozygosity status with full premutation of the CCG repeat tract. The methods are also useful in estimating the premutation and full mutation carrier frequency and estimating the prevalence of FXTAS AND FXPOI in a population. The methods are simple, rapid and require small amount of sample.
Systems and methods for automatic detection and quantification of pathology using dynamic feature classification
Methods, devices, and systems are provided for quantifying an extent of various pathology patterns in scanned subject images. The detection and quantification of pathology is performed automatically and unsupervised via a trained system. The methods, devices, and systems described herein generate unique dictionaries of elements based on actual image data scans to automatically identify pathology of new image data scans of subjects. The automatic detection and quantification system can detect a number of pathologies including a usual interstitial pneumonia pattern on computed tomography images, which is subject to high inter-observer variation, in the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Classifier generation methods and predictive test for ovarian cancer patient prognosis under platinum chemotherapy
A method of generating a classifier includes a step of classifying each member of a development set of samples with a class label in a binary classification scheme with a first classifier; and generating a second classifier using a classifier development process with an input classifier development set being the members of the development set assigned one of the two class labels in the binary classification scheme by the first classifier. The second classifier stratifies the members of the set with an early label into two further sub-groups. We also describe identifying a plurality of different clinical sub-groups within the development set based on the clinical data and for each of the different clinical sub-groups, conducting a classifier generation process for each of the clinical sub-groups thereby generating clinical subgroup classifiers. We further describe an example of a hierarchical arrangement of such classifiers and their use in predicting, in advance of treatment, ovarian cancer patient outcomes on platinum-based chemotherapy.
MULTIPARAMETRIC DISCOVERY AND OPTIMIZATION PLATFORM
Provided herein are systems and methods for screening desirable biological variants using a high-throughput integrated system. The integrated system may be configured to input a plurality of parameters from functional studies of biological variants under applied conditions, in conjunction with integrated libraries of biological variants, and filter the inputs to produce desirable biological variants based on an input performance requirement. The system may output optimized strains, molecules, or novel molecules expected to have a desirable functional characteristic. Accordingly, the methods and systems disclosed herein enable multi-parametric studies of biological diversity and conditional diversity in systems biology.
