Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media are provided for intelligently sorting cells using machine learning. A biological cell analysis sorting machine, wherein the biological cell analysis sorting machine comprises a flow cytometry system and a cell analytics sorting system, may be configured to detect configuration issues by analyzing results of a sorting experiment performed by the biological cell analysis sorting machine. An analysis of a history of prior sorting experiments and associated configuration settings may be performed and a corpus of documents pertaining to the sorting experiment based on the detected configuration issues may be analyzed. Updated configuration settings for the biological cell analysis sorting machine based on the performed analysis may be determined, and the biological cell analysis sorting machine may be configured with the updated configuration settings to conduct a desired sorting experiment.

Automated configuration of flow cytometry machines

Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media for intelligently accessing various types of pharmaceutical information in a content repository and ranking drugs at the variant level, gene level, and pathway level. In some cases, drugs that target the same gene, gene variant, or biological pathway may be ranked based upon in vitro, pre-clinical, clinical, or post-clinical evidence. To determine ranking of a plurality of drugs, information pertaining to drug administration is analyzed for the drugs. For a plurality of drugs, attributes corresponding to the drug are determined, wherein the attributes include a variant or a gene targeted by the drug, and a biological pathway comprising the targeted variant or gene. The plurality of drugs are ranked according to a drug effectiveness score based on one or more of a determined efficacy, potency, or toxicity.

Determining drug effectiveness ranking for a patient using machine learning

Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing genomic services are provided. A request is received from a user. The request is applied to one or more from a group of a personalized data repository for the user and supporting knowledge bases, wherein the personalized data repository includes genetic test results, health/clinical information, and insurance coverage, and wherein the knowledge bases include information pertaining to genetic tests and clinical guidelines. Data from the applied request is integrated with results from service modules performing one or more from a group of content search, variation interpretation, and report generation to produce results for the request. The personalized data repository and supporting knowledge bases are updated based on the results of the request. Surveillance services are triggered based on one or more events.

Person-centric genomic services framework and integrated genomics platform and systems

Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media for classifying documents within a content repository or documents within the document subsets are provided. Documents may be pre-processed to render document sections visible to machine readers. Document subsets may be generated based on user-defined terms. The machine readable documents may be classified within the content repository into one of a group of categories, based-upon the number of times classification terms appear in a specific document section of the document. Documents may be ranked based upon the frequency of classification terms in the specific section. Documents may be associated with specific diseases such as cancer, genes, gene variants, and drugs or synonyms thereof by comparing relevant search terms to specific sections of the documents.

Automated document filtration and prioritization for document searching and access

Computer-based methods, systems, and computer readable media for managing documents within a content repository or documents within the document subsets are provided. Documents within the content repository may be classified into one of a functional category and a clinical category. Documents are applied to a machine learning annotation and analysis module to automatically annotate the documents to indicate relationships between entities. A request is processed for the documents including one or more search terms, wherein the search terms pertain to one or more entities from a group of gene, gene variant, drug, cancer and a biomedical/clinical term. Documents satisfying the request are identified by comparing the one or more search terms to the annotations and specific sections of the documents, and determining a relevance of a document based on the comparison and a frequency of the one or more search terms in each of the specific sections. The identified documents are ranked according to custom techniques.

Automated document filtration with machine learning of annotations for document searching and access

Computer-based methods, systems, and computer readable media for managing documents within a content repository or documents within the document subsets are provided. Documents may be pre-processed to be machine readable and classified within the content repository into one or more categories, based upon a number of times classification terms appear in a specific section of the document or based on an article type tag. Document subsets may be generated based on user-defined terms. Documents may be associated with specific cancer-types, genes, gene variants and drugs by comparing relevant search terms to specific sections of the documents. A request for processing the documents may include one or more of the search terms, pertaining to one or more from a group of gene, gene variant, drug, and cancer terms. A priority score may be determined for documents based on a frequency of one or more of the search terms in each of the specific sections, and the documents may be ranked from highest total priority score to lowest total priority score.

Automated document filtration and priority scoring for document searching and access

A computer system processes documents in a content repository. Each document of a plurality of documents is classified into one of a functional category and a clinical category. Each document is annotated using one or more corpora to generate document annotations. Documents satisfying one or more query terms are identified by comparing each query term to the document annotations. The identified documents are ranked based on a determined relevance. Guidelines are produced based on the ranking of the identified documents. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for processing documents in a content repository in substantially the same manner described above.

Processing documents in content repositories to generate personalized treatment guidelines

Computer-based methods, systems, and computer readable media for managing documents within a content repository or documents within the document subsets are provided. Variant annotations within the documents may be normalized to a standard nomenclature. A request is processed for the documents including one or more search terms, where the search terms pertain to one or more from a group of genes/gene variants, drugs, and cancer terms. Documents are identified that satisfy the request by comparing the one or more search terms to the normalized annotations and specific sections of the documents, and determining a relevance of a document based on the comparison and a frequency of the one or more search terms in each of the specific sections. The identified documents are ranked in accordance with a priority based on the determined relevance.
