US Patent Issued to Illumina on Jan. 20 for "Efficient artificial intelligence-based base calling of index sequences" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 20 -- United States Patent no. 12,530,882, issued on Jan. 20, was assigned to Illumina Inc. (San Diego).

"Efficient artificial intelligence-based base calling of index sequences" was invented by Anindita Dutta (San Francisco) and Gery Vessere (Oakland, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques for improving artificial intelligence-based base calling are disclosed. The improved techniques can be used to better train artificial intelligence for base calling by reordering of sequencing images, and training of a neural network-based base caller where the temporal logic is effectively "frozen" (or bypassed). In addition, the improved techniques include various combinat...
