Systems and methods for processing sequence data for variant detection and analysis

Abstract

Systems and methods for processing sequence data are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the system is comprised of a computing device that is configured for receiving, storing, and processing sequence data utilizing object-oriented functions. Sequencing is disclosed herein which provides for the customization of sequencing and analysis processing for next generation sequence processing and analysis. The system may be characterized as a bioinformatics system, which uses object oriented functions to process and store sequencing data efficiently and without the need for extensive programming knowledge. Object instances configured as part of the system may be manipulated, transformed, probed, and shared in memory, yet still saved to the disk. Due to the nature of sequence representation within the system, the required disk space needed is much less than existing bioinformatics programs. In another embodiment, MATLAB is utilized as part of the configuration of the system. Due to its object-oriented approach it may be adapted to more complex development functions and processing. This provides for much needed flexibility and ease of use.
