Differential filtering of genetic data

A computer program product embedded in a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processor to perform differential filtering of genetic data and interactively display the genetic data to a user, the instructions comprising:

• accessing, by a computer comprising a processor and a memory, intensity measurement data obtained from hybridization of one or more target nucleic acid molecules to at least one of a plurality of single nucleotide polymorphism probes and a plurality of copy number variation nucleic acid probes of an array, wherein the single nucleotide polymorphism nucleic acid probes are designed to identify one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms in the target nucleic acids and the copy number variation nucleic acid probes are designed to identify one or more copy number variations in the target nucleic acids;
• converting the intensity measurement data at the processor to genetic data selectable by a user on at least one input interface window of a visual display device connected to the computer;
• displaying the genetic data on the visual display device to the user in a display area of the visual display device, wherein the display area comprises one or more user configurable windows comprising at least one of a multiple chromosomes view, a selected chromosome view, and a segment filters view;
• receiving from the user at the computer through the at least one input interface window a first set of parameters selected by the user for filtering the genetic data;
• differentially filtering at the processor, a first subset of genetic data using the first set of parameters to form a first filtered subset of the genetic data;
• and
• displaying on the visual display device the first filtered subset of the genetic data nearly simultaneously as the first set of parameters is received by the computer, wherein the first filtered subset of the genetic data is visualized using various colors, icons or other visual markers in the user configurable windows to distinguish from the genetic data that does not correspond to the first set of parameters.

A genetic data differential filtering system, comprising:

• a visual display device;
• a network-enabled computer connected to the visual display device, the computer comprising:
• a memory storing intensity measurement data obtained from hybridization of one or more target nucleic acid molecules to at least one of a plurality of single nucleotide polymorphism probes and a plurality of copy number variation nucleic acid probes of an array, wherein the single nucleotide polymorphism nucleic acid probes are designed to identify one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms in the target nucleic acids and the copy number variation nucleic acid probes are designed to identify one or more copy number variations in the target nucleic acids;
• a processor configured to:
• convert the intensity measurement data to genetic data selectable by a user on at least one input interface window of the visual display device;
• display the genetic data on the visual display device to the user in a display area of the visual display device, wherein the display area comprises one or more user configurable windows comprising at least one of a multiple chromosomes view, a selected chromosome view, and a segment filters view;
• receive from the user at the computer through the at least one input interface window a first set of parameters selected by the user for filtering the genetic data;
• differentially filter at the processor a first subset of genetic data using the first set of parameters to form a first filtered subset of the genetic data;
• and
• display on the visual display device the first filtered subset of the genetic data nearly simultaneously as the first set of parameters is received by the computer, wherein the first filtered subset of the genetic data is visualized using various colors, icons or other visual markers in the user configurable windows to distinguish from the genetic data that does not correspond to the first set of parameters.
