Methods of sequencing by expansion and related improvements to the sequencing of surrogate polymers in a nanopore are described. The surrogate polymer is formed from a template nucleic acid molecule. A surrogate polymer includes multiple units. Each unit includes a reporter code portion. The reporter codes correspond to the different nucleotides. surrogate polymers may get stuck in the nanopore. Embodiments described herein address these stuck surrogate polymers. In order to allow for multiple reads on the surrogate polymer, a processive consensus technique can be applied. The surrogate polymer may be moved a few units forward and then fewer units backward so that some of the same reporter codes are identified again. This method allows for multiple reads of the same reporter codes. The surrogate polymer eventually passes through the nanopore in the forward direction. Periodically, higher clearing voltages may be applied to clear any stuck surrogate polymer in the nanopore.

A machine learning model for traversing a decision tree, the machine learning model trained from a structured data set including a first set of key-value pairs and subject-specific criteria using the key-value pairs. The first set of key-value pairs is transformed into a second set of key-value pairs, which are projected to a subject-specific point within a multi-dimensional space. The decision tree includes decision and leaf nodes. Each leaf node is connected to a root node via a leaf-node-specific trajectory. Each decision node corresponds to a criterion using a value in the second set of key-value pairs. For each leaf node, a leaf-node-specific point within the multi-dimensional space is determined using the leaf-node-specific trajectory, and a similarity score is determined using the leaf-node-specific and subject-specific points. A subset of the leaf nodes is identified using the scores. State or protocol information for each leaf node in the subset is retrieved.
