Patent CA-2737643-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FAN HEI-MUN
IPC: G16B20/10
Filed: 2009-09-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a method to achieve digital quantification of DNA (i.e., counting differences between identical sequences) using direct shotgun sequencing followed by mapping to the chromosome of origin and enumeration of fragments per chromosome. The preferred method uses massively parallel sequencing, which can produce tens of millions of short sequence tags in a single run and enabling a sampling that can be statistically evaluated.  By counting the number of sequence tags mapped to a predefined window in each chromosome, the over- or under- representation of any chromosome in maternal plasma DNA contributed by an aneuploid fetus can be detected. This method does not require the differentiation of fetal versus maternal DNA. The median count of autosomal values is used as a normalization constant to account for differences in total number of sequence tags is used for comparison between samples and between chromosomes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adding additional data, for example, multi-channel expansion data, to base data, for example, conventional stereo data. Said method consists of preparing (10) a test finger print of test data which is related to a test moment in time of the test data. The test data is identical to the additional data or the base data or parametrically dependent on the additional data or the base data. Reference moment in time information, which is dependent on a reference moment in time in the reference data which is the conventional stereo data, can be determined (11) by using the test finger print. Subsequently, the additional data to the base data is manipulated (12) by using the reference moment in time information and the test moment in time information, in order to obtain manipulated data which enable a synchronous reproduction (13) of the data information to be carried out. As a result, a robust and flexible possibility for obtaining synchronous, in particular, subsequent expansion of base data by additional data is provided.
