  • Patent number: 11932903
    Abstract: A kit for split-pool barcoding is provided. The kit comprises: a binding agent that binds to a target molecule that is in or on cells or cell organelles and at least two sets of assayable polymer subunit (APS) oligonucleotides. In the kit each set comprises at least 10 unique APS oligonucleotides, the APS oligonucleotides in a set each comprise a sequence that distinguishes the APS oligonucleotides from one another, and the APS oligonucleotides from different sets are configured to link together in an ordered fashion to form all or part of a cell or organelle origination barcode.

  • Patent number: 11932902
    Abstract: A method for adding cell origination barcodes onto beads is provided. The method comprises: splitting a pool of beads into a plurality of reaction volumes, appending pre-made oligonucleotides onto the beads in the reaction volumes, wherein at least some of the reaction volumes each receive an oligonucleotide that contains a sequence that is different from the other oligonucleotides added to the reaction volumes, pooling the beads and repeating the splitting, appending and pooling steps one or more times to produce a pool of beads that comprise the cell origination barcodes. In the one or more repeats the oligonucleotides that are appended are added to previously appended oligonucleotides to form the cell origination barcodes.

  • Patent number: 11926864
    Abstract: A method of barcoding is provided. The method comprises: providing a population of fixed cells or cell organelles in a first reaction volume, hybridizing oligonucleotide probes to target molecules that are in or on the cells or cell organelles in the first reaction volume, splitting the population of cells or cell organelles into a plurality of second reactions volumes, wherein at least some of the second reaction volumes receive a single fixed cell or cell organelle from the population of fixed cells or fixed cell organelles, and adding cell-specific nucleic acid barcodes onto: the oligonucleotide probes, ligation products comprising the oligonucleotide probes, or complements of the oligonucleotide probes or ligation products, in the plurality of second reaction volumes.

  • Patent number: 11926865
    Abstract: A method for analyzing planar sample is provided. In some cases the method comprises: (a) incubating the planar sample with a capture agent that is linked to an oligonucleotide, wherein the capture agent specifically binds to complementary sites in the planar sample; (b) reading a fluorescent signal caused by extension of a primer that is hybridized to the oligonucleotide, using fluorescence microscopy. Several implementations of the method, and multiplexed versions of the same, are also provided.

    Abstract: Provided herein, among other things, is a method for synthesizing spatially addressed nucleic acid barcodes in or on a cellular sample in situ. In some embodiments, the method may comprise: obtaining a cellular sample comprising nucleic acid molecules that are protected by a reversible terminator, deprotecting the nucleic acid molecules in a set of areas of the sample by selectively applying an external stimulus to the set of areas to produce deprotected nucleic acid molecules in the areas, applying a reversible terminator nucleotide to the cellular sample, resulting in addition of a reversible terminator onto the deprotected nucleic acid molecules, optionally removing any unreacted reversible terminator nucleotide from the sample, and repeating the steps one or more times.
