20140272948 | HIERARCHICAL ASSEMBLY OF OPTICAL MAPS - The invention generally relates to optical maps and particularly to computationally tractable methods of assembling large numbers of single molecule maps by dividing the maps into smaller groups of maps within which all of the maps are similar to one another by some metric. For each group, all of the maps are assembled into contigs. The resulting contigs are then assembled into one or more genome assemblies. By dividing the maps into groups, a number of comparison operations required for assembly is reduced and, since each group of maps can be assembled into a contig in a discrete operation, the overall assembly operation can be parallelized. | 09-18-2014 |

Each placement decreases the number of possible placements for the remaining contigs, which otherwise would have been likely to match in numerous places. Contigs are thereby placed along the reference genome with confidence and thus can be assembled into a genome-scale sequence assembly. | 09-18-2014 |

20150045651 | METHOD OF ANALYZING MULTI-SEQUENCE MRI DATA FOR ANALYSING BRAIN ABNORMALITIES IN A SUBJECT - The present invention, referred to as Oasis is Automated Statistical Inference for Segmentation (OASIS), is a fully automated and robust statistical method for cross-sectional MS lesion segmentation. Using intensity information from multiple modalities of MRI, a logistic regression model assigns voxel-level probabilities of lesion presence. The OASIS model produces interpretable results in the form of regression coefficients that can be applied to imaging studies quickly and easily. OASIS uses intensity-normalized brain MRI volumes, enabling the model to be robust to changes in scanner and acquisition sequence. OASIS also adjusts for intensity inhomogeneities that preprocessing bias field correction procedures do not remove, using BLUR volumes. This allows for more accurate segmentation of brain areas that are highly distorted by inhomogeneities, such as the cerebellum. One of the most practical properties of OASIS is that the method is fully transparent, easy to implement, and simple to modify for new data sets. | 02-12-2015 |
