ASSOCIATIVE PROCESSING MEMORY SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233869 titled 'ASSOCIATIVE PROCESSING MEMORY SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT
The abstract describes a patent application for a technology called associative processing memory (APM) that can be used to align reads to a reference sequence by storing shifted permutations and/or other permutations of the reference sequence. The APM compares reads to permutations of the reference sequence and provides outputs for each comparison, potentially comparing the read to many permutations in parallel. Inferences can be made based on these comparisons to determine a candidate alignment location in the reference sequence for a read.
- APM technology for aligning reads to a reference sequence
- Storage of shifted permutations and other permutations of the reference sequence
- Comparing reads to permutations of the reference sequence
- Making inferences based on comparisons to determine alignment locations
- Parallel comparison of reads to multiple permutations
Potential Applications: - Genomic sequencing - Bioinformatics research - Medical diagnostics
Problems Solved: - Efficient alignment of reads to reference sequences - Handling large volumes of sequencing data - Improving accuracy of genomic analysis

Original Abstract Submitted
associative processing memory (apm) may be used to align reads to a reference sequence. the apm may store shifted permutations and/or other permutations of the reference sequence. a read may be compared to some or all of the permutations of the reference sequence and the apm may provide an output for each comparison. in some examples, the apm may compare the read to many permutations of the reference sequence to the read in parallel. inferences may be made based on the comparisons between the read and the portions and/or permutations of a reference sequence. based on the inferences, a candidate alignment location in the reference sequence for a read to be determined.
