Claim 9:
10. A system for characterizing a sample comprising genetic information, comprising:
sequencing data obtained from the sample;
a data structure configured to record the sequencing data; and
a processor configured to:
(i) set, based on the sequencing data, a bit within the data structure to a first value for the received sequencing signal, wherein a set of one or more bits is associated with a unique received sequencing signal;
(ii) calculate a rate of change of bits within the bit array as new sequencing signals are received during the sequencing operation;
(iii) compare the rate of change to a predetermined threshold;
(iv) identify the sequencing operation as insufficient if the rate of change is above the predetermined threshold, or identify the sequencing operation as sufficient if the rate of change is below the predetermined threshold, and
(v) continue the sequencing operation based on identifying the sequencing operation as sufficient or terminate the sequencing operation based on identifying the sequencing operation as insufficient.
