Abstract
The present invention provides processes for calculating phased genomic sequences of the fetal genome using fetal DNA obtained from a maternal sample. The processes and systems of the present invention utilize novel technological and computational approaches to detect fetal genomic sequences and determine the phased heritable genomic sequences. The invention could be used, e.g., to identify in utero deleterious mutations carried by the parents and inherited by a fetus within a particular heritable genomic region.
