Title: Shaojie Zhang: Inventor in Genetic Data and Discovery

Introduction

Shaojie Zhang is an inventor based in Orlando, Florida. His patent portfolio includes 6 patents, with work spanning genetic technologies and methods for searching genotype databases.

Latest Patents

Zhang’s listed recent patent work includes “Detection of Gene Loci with Polychromatic CRISPR-Associated Protein 9” and “Methods and System for Efficient Indexing for Genetic Genealogical Discovery in Large Genotype Databases.”

The genetic genealogy indexing system describes a way to index, update, and search haplotypes in large genotype databases. It uses a pool of genetic indexes, a haplotype ingestion engine, and a query engine. Multiple panels index individuals’ haplotypes, and the panels can be updated as haplotypes are added or removed. To search, the system projects a query haplotype onto selected panels, finds long matches, and combines those matches into Identical-by-Descent segments that indicate DNA matches.

Career Highlights

Zhang’s listed affiliations include the University of Central Florida Research Foundation, Inc., and The University of Texas System. His patent work reflects an interest in applying computational methods to genetic data and genealogical discovery.
