SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING MICRO-RIBONUCLEIC ACID (miRNA) SIGNATURE PROFILES IN BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC SAMPLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240021269 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING MICRO-RIBONUCLEIC ACID (miRNA) SIGNATURE PROFILES IN BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC SAMPLES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for analyzing micro-ribonucleic acid (miRNA) signature profiles in a biological sample to identify profiles of a subject to biotic and abiotic agents. The system includes an extractor unit and a nucleic acid amplifying unit that communicate with one or more hardware processors. The extracted miRNA concentrations are amplified using a plurality of primers and statistical modeling-based techniques. The hardware processors analyze the miRNA profiling data to identify a plurality of miRNA signature sequences and profiles indicative of exposure to various biotic and abiotic agents. The sequences and profiles are compared with pre-defined miRNA signature sequences and profiles in a database and displayed to indicate the subject's response to each agent. The system can perform multiplexed extraction and amplification of miRNA sequences to improve efficiency.

  • The patent application describes a system for analyzing miRNA signature profiles in a biological sample.
  • The system includes an extractor unit, a nucleic acid amplifying unit, and one or more hardware processors.
  • The miRNA concentrations in the sample are extracted and amplified using a plurality of primers and statistical modeling-based techniques.
  • The hardware processors analyze the miRNA profiling data to identify miRNA signature sequences and profiles indicative of exposure to biotic and abiotic agents.
