Company patents
Ancestry.com DNA, LLC
Ancestry.com DNA, LLC's patent strategy reveals a strong and growing focus on its core 'Databases & Information Retrieval' category, which constitutes 47.0% of its portfolio and saw a significant 62.5% YoY growth in 2025, despite a partial decline so far in 2026. Surprisingly, while 'Bioinformatics' remains a substantial part of its portfolio at 30.3%, its patenting in this area has been declining, with a 28.6% drop in 2025 and a 60.0% drop so far in 2026, indicating a potential shift away from direct bioinformatics research towards data management and AI applications, as 'Machine Learning & AI' also shows consistent, albeit fluctuating, activity.

Methods and systems for integrating, transforming, and managing complex or domain-specific data from disparate sources into a unified structure, often for specific applications like social networks, genomics, or business forms.
Computational techniques and algorithms for processing, aligning, and interpreting raw biological sequence data (DNA, RNA, protein), including identifying genetic variations, classifying organisms, or predicting sequence attributes.
Applying computational methods, often involving machine learning and multiomics data, to design, analyze, and understand biomolecules, genetic sequences, or complex biological systems.
Systems and components designed for precise, automated manipulation, transfer, and dispensing of liquid samples and reagents, often involving pipettes, robotic arms, and specialized sample containers.
Computational methods and systems for analyzing biological data (e.g., genomic, proteomic, clinical) to diagnose diseases, predict patient prognosis, assess treatment response, or stratify patients for therapy.
Methods and systems for displaying complex data in three-dimensional graphical formats, allowing users to manipulate, explore, and derive insights from the data through interactive controls.
Self-contained or modular devices designed to automate and integrate multiple steps of molecular diagnostic assays, from sample preparation to result interpretation, often for point-of-care or high-throughput applications.
Methods and systems for combining and analyzing diverse biological datasets (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) to uncover complex biological relationships, disease mechanisms, or temporal trajectories.
Techniques utilizing deep learning models like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) or diffusion models to create new images, modify existing ones, or generate synthetic data based on various inputs or conditions.
