International Classification:

G16B 40/20
G16B 15/20
G16B 30/00

Abstract:

A system includes at least a voxelizer, an alternative allele encoder, an evolutionary conservation encoder, and a convolutional neural network. The voxelizer accesses a three-dimensional structure of a reference amino acid sequence of a protein and fits a three-dimensional grid of voxels on atoms in the three-dimensional structure on an amino acid-basis to generate amino acid-wise distance channels. The alternative allele encoder encodes an alternative allele sequence to each voxel in the three-dimensional grid of voxels. The evolutionary conservation encoder encodes an evolutionary conservation sequence to each voxel in the three-dimensional grid of voxels. The convolutional neural network applies three-dimensional convolutions to a tensor that includes the amino acid-wise distance channels encoded with the alternative allele sequence and respective evolutionary conservation sequences and determines a pathogenicity of a variant nucleotide based at least in part on the tensor.

G16B 20/20
G06T 11/20
G06N 3/04

Abstract:

The technology disclosed relates to efficiently determining which atoms in a protein are nearest to voxels in a grid. The atoms have three-dimensional (3D) atom coordinates, and the voxels have 3D voxel coordinates. The technology disclosed generates an atom-to-voxels mapping that maps, to each of the atoms, a containing voxel selected based on matching 3D atom coordinates of a particular atom of the protein to the 3D voxel coordinates in the grid. The technology disclosed generates a voxel-to-atoms mapping that maps, to each of the voxels, a subset of the atoms. The subset of the atoms mapped to a particular voxel in the grid includes those atoms in the protein that are mapped to the particular voxel by the atom-to-voxels mapping. The technology disclosed includes using the voxel-to-atoms mapping to determine, for each of the voxels, a nearest atom in the protein.

C23C 16/505

Abstract:

Exemplary deposition methods may include introducing hydrogen into a processing chamber, a powder disposed within a processing region of the processing chamber. The method may include striking a first plasma in the processing region, the first plasma including energetic hydrogen species. The method may include exposing the powder to the energetic hydrogen species in the processing region. The method may include chemically reducing the powder through a reaction of the powder with the energetic hydrogen species. The method may include removing process effluents including unreacted hydrogen from the processing region. The method may also include forming a layer of material on grains of the powder within the processing region.
