Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of processing or analyzing a sample. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing a probe molecule to a target region of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule), barcoding the probe-nucleic acid molecule complex, and performing extension, denaturation, and amplification processes. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing first and second probes to adjacent or non-adjacent target regions of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., an RNA molecule), linking the first and second probes to provide a probe-linked nucleic acid molecule, and barcoding the probe-linked nucleic acid molecule. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed within a partition, such as a droplet or well. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed on a cell, such as a permeabilized cell.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and systems for analysis of one or more single cells. The disclosed methods may comprise barcoding analytes from cell types of interest, while eliminating undesired cell types from analysis. Barcoding may comprise the use of a targeting agent. A targeting agent may be attached to an inhibitor or an activator, thereby inhibiting or activating analyte barcoding.
Abstract: Disclosed are methods, compositions and kits for contacting a sample containing a biological particle with a catalyst associated with or attached to a support. The biological particle may be cells and/or nuclei. The catalyst may be an enzyme configured to digest an extracellular molecule, such as an extracellular biological molecule, including extracellular nucleic acid molecules. In some examples, the biological particle is an aggregate of cells that is processed to single cells with a nuclease that is attached to a bead support. The bead and nuclease may subsequently be removed from the system. The single cells that result from the method can be used in single cell-based droplet systems for obtaining genome or transcriptome profiles of single cells.
Abstract: A computer implemented system for genomic data sorting, comprising alignment and position mapping. The system maps each read to a position on the reference genome with which the read is associated, followed by sorting these reads by their mapped positions.
Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compositions, and kits for the detection of immune cell clonotypes and immune cell analytes within a biological sample.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for determining a location of a protein in a biological sample including: disposing the sample onto an array comprising a plurality of capture probes, where a first and second capture probe include a first and second spatial barcode, respectively, and a capture domain. The second capture probe is not covered by the sample and is contacted with a solution comprising TdT and one or more dideoxynucleotides, where a dideoxynucleotide is incorporated into the second capture domain. Analyte capture agents comprising an analyte binding moiety that binds protein and an oligonucleotide including an analyte capture sequence and an analyte binding moiety barcode are contacted with the sample. The analyte capture sequence hybridizes to the first capture domain, and the sequence of the first spatial barcode and the analyte binding moiety barcode, or complements thereof, are used to determine the location of the protein in the biological sample.
Abstract: Provided are microfluidics systems, devices, and networks for generating partitions. The microfluidics systems, devices, and networks may facilitate efficient merging of one or more channels in a microfluidic network and prevent blockage of a channel segment, such as by gas (e.g., air) bubbles or by one or more particles in a fluid.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of identifying a location of an RNA in a sample that include: (a) contacting the sample with an array comprising capture probes, where a capture probe comprises a capture domain and a spatial barcode; (b) releasing the RNA from the sample; (c) extending a 3? end of the capture probe using the capture domain-bound RNA as a template; (d) generating nick(s) in the extended capture probe-hybridized RNA and performing random-primed DNA synthesis; (e) performing end repair on the second strand DNA molecule; (f) adding a single adenosine nucleotide to the 3? end of the extended capture probe; (g) ligating a double-stranded sequencing adaptor to the double-stranded DNA product; and (h) determining all or a part of the sequence of the RNA, and the sequence of the spatial barcode, or complements thereof, and using the determined sequences to identify the location of the RNA in the sample.
Abstract: Provided herein are methods of improving sensitivity of spatial detection of an analyte in a biological sample using splint oligonucleotides, circularized second strands, and rolling circle amplification. For example, provided herein are methods of improving sensitivity of spatial detection of an analyte in a biological sample where a splint oligonucleotide hybridizes to a second strand; the second strand is ligated together thereby creating a circularized second strand, rolling circle amplification of the circularized second strand results in generation of an amplified second strand, and all or part of the sequence of the amplified second strand is determined and used to spatially detect the analyte in the biological sample.
