ASSOCIATIVE PROCESSING MEMORY SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233870 titled 'ASSOCIATIVE PROCESSING MEMORY SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT
The abstract of this patent application describes a method using associative processing memory (APM) to align reads to a reference sequence by storing permutations of the reference sequence and comparing reads to these permutations to determine alignment locations.
- APM is utilized to store shifted permutations and/or other permutations of a reference sequence.
- Reads are compared to permutations of the reference sequence, and the APM provides outputs for each comparison.
- The APM can compare reads to multiple permutations of the reference sequence in parallel.
- Inferences are made based on the comparisons to determine candidate alignment locations for reads in the reference sequence.
Potential Applications: - Genomic sequencing - Bioinformatics - DNA analysis
Problems Solved: - Efficient alignment of reads to a reference sequence - Improved accuracy in genomic data analysis
Benefits: - Faster and more accurate alignment process - Enhanced understanding of genetic information - Facilitates research in genetics and genomics
Commercial Applications: Title: Genomic Sequencing Alignment Technology This technology can be used in biotechnology companies, research institutions, and healthcare facilities for genomic sequencing, personalized medicine, and genetic disease research.
Questions about Genomic Sequencing Alignment Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of genomic data analysis?
- This technology enhances accuracy by comparing reads to multiple permutations of the reference sequence to determine the best alignment locations.
2. What are the potential implications of this technology in personalized medicine?
- This technology can aid in identifying genetic variations associated with diseases, allowing for personalized treatment approaches.
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.
