Patent ID: 10528875

Abstract:
A method comprises receiving metagenomics data, configuring a data model characterizing relationships between aspects of the metagenomics data, and processing the metagenomics data in accordance with the configured data model in order to characterize at least one of a disease, infection or contamination. The data model comprises an abundance score element that relates portions of the metagenomics data comprising reads of biological samples to one or more genomic sequences of an ecogenome, and a comparative score element that relates portions of the metagenomics data comprising characteristics of multiple patients to one another with respect to the disease, infection or contamination. The data model further relates the abundance score element to the comparative score element via one or more additional elements of the data model corresponding to respective other aspects of the metagenomics data. The metagenomics data may comprise metagenomics sequencing results from metagenomics sequencing centers associated with respective data zones.
