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.

Determining relative connections between individuals includes: obtaining identification information of a first individual and identification information of a second individual; determining, based at least in part on a relative connections graph, a relative connections path connecting the first individual, the second individual, and at least one additional individual; and outputting information pertaining to the relative connections path.

Methods are provided herein to improve automatic detection of copy number variation in nucleic acid samples. These methods provide improved approaches for determining baseline copy number of genetic loci within a sample, reduce variation due to features of genetic loci, sample preparation, and probe exhaustion.

A sample processing apparatus (102) includes a plurality of processing stations (108) configured to process a sample that includes a DNA sample and an ILS substance carried by a sample carrier. One of the plurality of processing stations includes an electrophoresis processing station. The sample processing apparatus further includes an optical reader (110) that generates a plurality of DNA sample color group signals and an ILS signal based on a result of the electrophoresis processing station. One of the DNA sample color group signals includes at least the locus amelogenin X-peak. The sample processing apparatus further includes an ILS signal validator (112) that validates peaks of the ILS signal as true peaks of the ILS signal only if the amelogenin X-peak of the one of the DNA sample color group signals is found between two peaks of the ILS signal.

Provided herein are, inter alia, methods and biomarkers to determine if a patient has or is at risk for developing an LPA-associated disease, to indicate the progressiveness of the disease, and/or to facilitate evaluation of responsiveness to therapy. Compositions and kits including the biomarker proteins and biomarker RNAs provided herein are further provided.

This disclosure provides systems and methods for sample processing and data analysis. Sample processing may include nucleic acid sample processing and subsequent sequencing. Some or all of a nucleic acid sample may be sequenced to provide sequence information, which may be stored or otherwise maintained in an electronic storage location. The sequence information may be analyzed with the aid of a computer processor, and the analyzed sequence information may be stored in an electronic storage location that may include a pool or collection of sequence information and analyzed sequence information generated from the nucleic acid sample. Methods and systems of the present disclosure can be used, for example, for the analysis of a nucleic acid sample, for producing one or more libraries, and for producing biomedical reports. Methods and systems of the disclosure can aid in the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and prevention of one or more diseases and conditions.
