Abstract

Methods and systems for analysis of image data generated from various reference points. Particularly, the methods and systems provided are useful for real time analysis of image and sequence data generated during DNA sequencing methodologies.

Claims (43)

1. A method for analysis of image data generated during nucleic acid sequencing:

obtaining fluorescent emission signals from nucleic acid sites on a flow cell, wherein a nucleic acid site comprises multiple copies of a nucleic acid, and wherein the fluorescent emission signals are indicative of nucleotides present at the nucleic acid site;

identifying candidate site locations on the flow cell from the fluorescent emission signals, the fluorescent emission signals detected by different detection channels;

determining the quality of the identified candidate site locations, wherein the quality of a candidate site location is determined based on relative intensities of fluorescent emission signals detected at the identified candidate site location by the different detection channels; and

generating a template of nucleic acid site locations from the candidate site locations based on the quality of the identified candidate site locations, wherein identified candidate site locations that do not meet a threshold level of quality are excluded from the template.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, based upon the template of nucleic acid site locations, a base call for the nucleic acid site locations.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising registering one or more images to the template over a plurality of cycles, each cycle comprising delivery of different types of nucleotides to the nucleic acid sites.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein each cycle in the plurality of cycles comprises simultaneous delivery of the different types of nucleotides to the nucleic acid sites.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein each different type of nucleotide is attached to a spectrally distinct fluorescent label.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the different types of nucleotides comprise reversible terminator nucleotides.

7. The method of claim 3 , further comprising registering one or more images to the template, the one or more images comprising fluorescent emission signals obtained from the nucleic acid sites on the flow cell; and

determining an intensity value for each of the fluorescent emission signals in the one or more images.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein registering the one or more images to the template comprises aligning the template and the one or more images by performing a transformation operation.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the transformation operation comprises an affine transformation.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the transformation operation utilizes x, y shift information identified by correlating the location of a fixed point in the one or more images with a fixed coordinate in the template.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein a background subtraction is performed.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the intensity values are corrected for cross-talk between detection channels.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the correcting for cross-talk comprises correcting for cross-talk over a plurality of cycles, each cycle comprising delivery of different types of nucleotides to the nucleic acid sites.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising correcting for phasing effects over a plurality of cycles, each cycle comprising delivery of different types of nucleotides to the nucleic acid sites.

15. The method of claim 7 , comprising determining base calls for the nucleic acids sites after correcting the intensity values for cross-talk, phasing, or pre-phasing.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the base calls are determined over a plurality of cycles, each cycle comprising delivery of different types of nucleotides to the nucleic acid sites.

17. A system for analysis of image data generated during nucleic acid sequencing, comprising a processer configured to execute instructions for performing a method comprising:

obtaining fluorescent emission signals from nucleic acid sites on a flow cell, wherein a nucleic acid site comprises multiple copies of a nucleic acid, and wherein the fluorescent emission signals are indicative of nucleotides present at the nucleic acid site;
