Patent Images
1. A system for analyzing genome data, the system comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory device communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory device having stored therein a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
receive genome analysis data generated by a genome analysis device, the genome analysis data comprising a plurality of data points;
receive a request for genome analysis data from a client computer over a wide area network, the request identifying a location range of interest of the genome analysis data;
reduce the genome analysis data located in the location range to generate a reduced genome dataset, wherein the reduced genome dataset comprises (i) a first number of data points that is less than a second number of data points of the genome analysis data located in the location range and (ii) outlier metrics; and
transmit the reduced genome dataset to the client computer over the wide area network in response to the request.

Abstract
A system and method for analyzing genome data includes receiving genome analysis data generated by a genome analysis device, such as a microarray scanner, reducing the genome analysis data, and transmitting the reduced genome analysis data over a wide area network to a client computer. The reduced genome analysis data may provide a summary of the unreduced genome analysis data. One of several methods may be used to reduce the genome analysis data for transmittal over the wide area network.

15. A method for analyzing genome data, the method comprising:
-
receiving, with a computer system, a request for gnome analysis data from a client computer over the Internet, the request identifying a location range of interest of the genome analysis data; reducing, on the computer system, the genome analysis data located in the location range to generate a reduced genome dataset such that (i) the reduced genome dataset summarizes the genome analysis data located in the location range and (i) the size in bytes of the reduced genome dataset is no greater than one percent of the size in bytes of the genome analysis data located in the location range; and transmitting the reduced genome dataset from the computer system to the client computer over a wide area network. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A tangible, machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions, that in response to being executed, result in a computing system:
-
receiving genome analysis data comprising first genome analysis data generated from a microarray analysis of a test nucleic acid sample and second genome data analysis data generated from a reference nucleic acid sample; identifying at least one data point of the first genome analysis data that is different in value from a corresponding data point of the second genome analysis data; reducing the genome analysis data located in the location range to generate a reduced genome dataset, wherein the reduced genome dataset comprises (i) a first number of data points that is less than a second number of data points of the genome analysis data and (ii) the at least one data point; and transmitting the reduced genome dataset to a client computer over a wide area network in response to a request received from the client computer.
