Patent No. EP3663890 (titled "Alignment Method, Device And System") was filed by Genemind Biosciences on Aug 2, 2017. The application was issued on Apr 10, 2024.
A sequence alignment method that improves sensitivity and accuracy by converting reads into short fragments and converting sequence information into position information. The method aligns short fragments with a reference library constructed from a reference sequence, removes fragments positioned on adjacent entries, and extends the alignment based on the remaining fragments. The method is particularly suitable for aligning reads containing unrecognized bases, such as those with gaps or N bases.

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
