Example embodiments relate to identity-by-descent (IBD) relatedness based on focal and reference segments. An example method includes determining, by a services platform based on personal information of a focal individual, a focal string. The method also includes retrieving, by the services platform from a reference database, a reference string of a reference individual. Additionally, the method includes computationally identifying, by the services platform, IBD segments between the focal string and the reference string. Further, the method includes determining, by the services platform and based on the merged set of IBD segments, a degree of relatedness between the focal individual and the reference individual. In addition, the method includes providing, by the services platform, access to the degree of relatedness via a user interface.

Identity-by-descent relatedness based on focal and reference segments

Presenting ancestral origin information, comprising: receiving a request to display ancestry data of an individual; obtaining ancestry composition information of the individual, the ancestry composition information including information pertaining to a proportion of the individual's genotype data that is deemed to correspond to a specific ancestry; and presenting the ancestry composition information to be displayed.

Ancestry composition determination

The disclosed embodiments concern methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products for determining and displaying pedigrees based on IBD data. Some implementations use a probabilistic relationship model to obtain various likelihoods of various potential relationships based on pairwise IBD data and pairwise age data. Some implementations build large pedigrees by combining smaller pedigrees. Some implementations display pedigree graphs with various features that are informative and easy to understand.

Methods and systems for determining and displaying pedigrees

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for expanding a job search that includes an industry by adding other similar industries. A method identifies job titles of members in a social network and performs, utilizing a machine-learning program, semantic analysis of the job titles to identify similarity coefficients among the job titles. The machine-learning program utilizes social network data to identify the similarity coefficients. Further, the method includes an operation for receiving a job search query, from a first member, including a query job title, and for expanding the job search query with job titles that are similar to the query job title. The method further includes operations for executing the expanded job search query to generate a plurality of job results, and for causing presentation on a display of one or more of the top job results.

Determining similarities among job titles to enhance job searching

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for expanding a job search that includes an industry by adding other similar industries. A method accesses, by a social networking server, a plurality of job applications, with each job application being submitted by a member for a job in a company, the member and the job having a respective industry from a plurality of industries. Semantic analysis of the job applications is performed by a machine-learning program to identify similarity coefficients among the plurality of industries. A job search query is received from a first member, the job search query including a query industry, and the job search query is expanded with industries that are similar to the query industry. The social networking server executes the expanded job search query to generate a plurality of job results. Presentation is provided on a display of one or more of the top job results.
