Systems and methods for cancer subject tumor fraction estimation comprise obtaining a first plurality of nucleic acid fragment sequences from the subject's liquid biological sample. The first plurality of sequences represent cell-free nucleic acids in the liquid sample. A second plurality of nucleic acid fragment sequences is obtained from the subject's tumor sample. The second plurality of sequences represent nucleic acid molecules in the tumor. Smoothed noise rates, each determined using nucleic acid fragment sequences from non-cancer samples mapping to a corresponding allele position in a plurality of allele positions, are obtained. Variant allele counts and coverages are determined for the allele positions using the first plurality of sequences. Solid variant allele fractions are determined for the plurality of allele positions using the second plurality of sequences. The subject tumor fraction is calculated using the smoothed noise rates, variant allele counts, coverages, and solid variant allele fractions.

Classification of cancer condition, in a plurality of different cancer conditions, for a species, is provided in which, for each training subject in a plurality of training subjects, there is obtained a cancer condition and a genotypic data construct including genotypic information for the respective training subject. Genotypic constructs are formatted into corresponding vector sets comprising one or more vectors. Vector sets are provided to a network architecture including a convolutional neural network path comprising at least a first convolutional layer associated with a first filter that comprise a first set of filter weights and a scorer. Scores, corresponding to the input of vector sets into the network architecture, are obtained from the scorer. Comparison of respective scores to the corresponding cancer condition of the corresponding training subjects is used to adjust the filter weights thereby training the network architecture to classify cancer condition.
