Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Methods And Systems For Detecting Genetic Variants", for Approval (USPTO 20250002993).

Researchers have submitted a patent application titled "Methods And Systems For Detecting Genetic Variants" to the USPTO. The application focuses on detecting and quantifying genetic variations, particularly in diseases like cancer, using cell-free DNA. The method involves tagging DNA fragments with molecular barcodes to improve accuracy and sensitivity in detecting rare genetic alterations. The patent application also includes methods for treating lung cancer based on detecting specific genetic variants associated with the disease. [Extracted from the article]
