METHODS, SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA TO CORRECT BASE CALLS IN REPEAT REGIONS OF NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCE READS
Methods, systems and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium are provided to mitigate insertion errors and deletion errors in STR sequences and improve accuracy in determination of the number of repeats. A method includes determining one or more optimum clusters for a set of flow space signal measurements, wherein at least one of the optimum clusters is associated with a homopolymer length, modifying a base call at the position in the repeat region sequence to the homopolymer length associated with the optimum cluster to produce a corrected repeat region sequence, thereby correcting an insertion error or a deletion error. The method may further include detecting variations in the flanks associating those variations with the length of the STR.

Automated Monitoring and Retraining of Infectious Disease Computer Models
Mechanisms are provided for performing automated monitoring and retraining of infectious disease computer models. A trained infectious disease computer model is executed on case report data for a target region to generate prediction results predicting a state of an infectious disease spread within the target region for a given time. The prediction results generated by the trained infectious disease computer model are automatically compared to ground truth data to determine a deviation between the prediction results and the ground truth data. The ground truth data comprises at least one of actual case report data collected and reported by source computing systems for the given time, or a previous prediction result generated by the trained infectious disease computer model. Statistical test(s) are applied to the deviation to determine if it is statistically significant, and if so, re-training of the trained infectious disease computer model is automatically initiated.
