1470 results about "Mutation" patented technology

In biology, a mutation is the alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA. Mutations result from errors during DNA replication (especially during meiosis) or other types of damage to DNA (such as may be caused by exposure to radiation or carcinogens), which then may undergo error-prone repair (especially microhomology-mediated end joining), or cause an error during other forms of repair, or else may cause an error during replication (translesion synthesis). Mutations may also result from insertion or deletion of segments of DNA due to mobile genetic elements. Mutations may or may not produce discernible changes in the observable characteristics (phenotype) of an organism. Mutations play a part in both normal and abnormal biological processes including: evolution, cancer, and the development of the immune system, including junctional diversity.

Non-invasive prenatal testing for autosomal recessive diseases

Compositions, methods, kits, systems, and software are provided for non-invasive prenatal testing for autosomal recessive diseases. Next generation sequencing is used to sequence maternal and fetal DNA isolated from maternal plasma by probe capture. The fetal fraction of the sequencing reads for DNA isolated from maternal plasma is estimated by counting single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for which an allele is detected that is present in the paternal haplotype but absent in the maternal haplotype, based on the assumption that SNPs having a paternal allele belong to the fetal DNA. The fetal fraction is bioinformatically enriched by excluding sequencing reads over a specified length via in-silico size selection, which increases fetal genotype prediction accuracy. Parental haplotype information together with the read ratios observed at the linked SNPs is used to predict the fetal genotype at a site of a mutation linked to the autosomal recessive disease.
