  • Publication number: 20240132961
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for quantitative analysis of a plurality of cellular component targets of cells of interest. In some embodiments, an oligonucleotide associated with a cellular component-binding reagent (e.g., an antibody) is associated with one or more detectable moieties (e.g., luminescent moieties, fluorescent moieties, a phosphorescent moieties). In some embodiments, the presence of the detectable moiety in the binding reagent oligonucleotide enables the cellular component-binding reagent to be employed for both fluorescence analysis (e.g., cell sorting) and sequence analysis (e.g., protein expression profiling).

  • Patent number: 11773436
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for labeling nucleic acid targets in a sample. In some embodiments, nucleic acid targets (e.g., mRNAs) are initially barcoded on the 3? end and are subsequently barcoded on the 5? end following a template switching reaction and intermolecular and/or intramolecular hybridization and extension. 5?- and/or 3?-barcoded nucleic acid targets can serve as templates for amplification reactions and/or random priming and extension reactions to generate a sequencing library. The method can comprise generating a full-length sequence of the nucleic acid target by aligning a plurality of sequencing reads. Immune repertoire profiling methods are also provided in some embodiments.

  • Publication number: 20220033810
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for labeling DNA (e.g., open chromatin-associated gDNA). The method can comprise contacting double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), such as gDNA, with a transposome to generate a plurality of dsDNA fragments each comprising a first 5? overhang and a second 5? overhang. The transposome can comprise a transposase, a first adaptor having a first 5? overhang, and a second adaptor having a second 5? overhang. The first 5? overhang can comprise a complement of a target-binding region of a bead oligonucleotide. The first 5? overhang can comprise a coupling sequence. The second 5? overhang can comprise a universal sequence. There are provided, in some embodiments, coupling oligonucleotides comprising a 5? complement of the coupling sequence and a 3? complement of a target-binding region of a bead oligonucleotide.
