  • Publication number: 20220315988
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for PCR normalization. In some embodiments, after barcoding copies of a higher abundance target (e.g., a cDNA species), the barcoded copies are amplified using a pair of forward primers comprising one or more mismatches and a reverse primer. The amplified copies can be further linearly amplified using a forward primer comprising the sequence of one of the pair of forward primers, and a reverse primer.

  • Publication number: 20210371909
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for 5?-based gene expression profiling. Some embodiments provide synthetic particles (e.g., beads) associated with a first plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes and a second plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes. In some embodiments, nucleic acid targets (e.g., mRNAs) are initially barcoded on the 3? end with the first plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes and subsequently barcoded on the 5? end following a template switching reaction and intermolecular hybridization with the first plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes and extension. Immune repertoire profiling methods are also provided in some embodiments.
