    Abstract: A method of: submitting reference sequences to a taxonomic database to produce taxonomic results; and reporting a taxonomic identification based on the taxonomic results. The reference sequences are the output of genetic database queries that return a score for each reference sequence. A method for processing a biological sequence obtained from an assay by: converting base calls located in a predetermined list of positions within the biological sequence to N; and determining the ratio of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the biological sequence relative to a reference sequence. Each entry in the predetermined list of positions represents the capability of a substance hybridizing to a microarray used to generate the biological sequence. The substance is not the nucleic acid of a target pathogen.

    Abstract: A PCR method involving: providing a biological sample suspected of containing one or more pathogen nucleic acids; adding a plurality of PCR primers corresponding to genes found in the pathogens; and performing a polymerase chain reaction on the sample to amplify a subset of the nucleic acids that correspond to the genes. The primers include at least one primer pair for each pathogen, and the primers contain a tail sequence that is not homologous any pathogen DNA or to any background DNA in the sample. The concentration of at least one primer in the polymerase chain reaction is no more than about 100 nM.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method as follows. Providing a list of target sequences associated with one or more organisms in a list of organisms. Providing a list of candidate prototype sequences suspected of hybridizing to one or more of the target sequences. Generating a collection of probes corresponding to each candidate prototype sequence, each collection of probes having a set of probes for every subsequence having a predetermined, fixed subsequence length of the corresponding candidate prototype sequence. The sets consist of the corresponding subsequence and every variation of the corresponding subsequence formed by varying a center nucleotide of the corresponding subsequence. Generating a set of fragments corresponding to each target sequence, each set of fragments having every fragment having a predetermined, fixed fragment length of the corresponding target sequence. Calculating the binding free energy of each fragment with a perfect complimentary sequence of the fragment. If any binding free energy is above a predetermined, fixed threshold, the fragment is extended one nucleotide at a time until the binding free energy is below the threshold or the fragment is the same length as the probe, generating a set of extended fragments. Determining which extended fragments are perfect matches to any of the probes. Assembling a base call sequence corresponding to each candidate prototype sequence. The base call sequence has a base call corresponding to the center nucleotide of each probe of the corresponding prototype sequence that is a perfect match to any extended fragment, but for which the other members of the set of probes containing the perfect match probe are not perfect matches to any extended fragment and a non-base call in all other circumstances.
