US Patent 10366777 Systems and methods for determining the integrity of test strings with respect to a reference genome

Systems and methods for analyzing first and second strings against a ground truth string are provided. A construct representing a plurality of components is obtained, each component for a different portion of the truth string. The construct comprises a plurality of measurement string sampling pools each having an identifier and a corresponding plurality of measurement samplings corresponding to one or two of the components. Each sampling has the identifier and a portion of the first or second string. Samplings are assigned to first, second or third classes when coding a portion of the first string, second string, or both the first and second string. First and second positions are tested for events by calculating a plurality of event models using assumptions on the components having samplings encompassing the first and second positions and class assignments. These assumptions are updated using the calculated models and the models are recalculated.
