  • Patent number: 11584953
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, systems, and kits for processing nucleic acid molecules. A method may comprise providing a template nucleic acid fragment (e.g., within a cell, cell bead, or cell nucleus) within a partition (e.g., a droplet or well) and subjecting the template nucleic acid fragment to one or more processes including a barcoding process and a single primer extension or amplification process. The processed template nucleic acid fragment may then be recovered from the partition and subjected to further amplification to provide material for subsequent sequencing analysis. The methods provided herein may permit simultaneous processing and analysis of both DNA and RNA molecules originating from the same cell, cell bead, or cell nucleus.

  • Patent number: 11574706
    Abstract: A dataset is obtained comprising data blocks, each representing a different characteristic, for a plurality of cells across a plurality of bins, each bin representing a different portion of a reference sequence. Cells are clustered on one such characteristic across the bins thereby forming a tree that includes root, intermediate, and terminal nodes, where the cells are terminal nodes and intermediate nodes have daughter nodes, themselves being intermediate nodes or a cell. A subset of the tree is displayed that includes the root and leaves, each leaf representing an intermediate node or a cell. A heat map of the characteristic is also displayed, the map including a segment for each leaf, across the bins. When a segment represents an intermediate node, it is an average of the characteristic across daughters of the node. Graphs of characteristics for the root across the bins are also displayed.

  • Patent number: 11514575
    Abstract: A discrete attribute value dataset is obtained that is associated with a plurality of probe spots each assigned a different probe spot barcode. The dataset comprises spatial projections, each comprising images of a biological sample. Each image includes a corresponding plurality of discrete attribute values for the probe spots. Each such value is associated with a probe spot in the plurality of probes spots based on the probe spot barcodes. The dataset is clustered using the discrete attribute values, or dimension reduction components thereof, for a plurality of loci at each respective probe spot across the images of the projections thereby assigning each probe spot to a cluster in a plurality of clusters. Morphological patterns are identified from the spatial arrangement of the probe spots in the various clusters.

  • Patent number: 11501440
    Abstract: Systems and methods for spatial analysis of analytes are provided. A data structure is obtained comprising an image, as an array of pixel values, of a sample on a substrate having a identifier, fiducial markers and a set of capture spots. The pixel values are used to identify derived fiducial spots. The substrate identifier identifies a template having reference positions for reference fiducial spots and a corresponding coordinate system. The derived fiducial spots are aligned with the reference fiducial spots using an alignment algorithm to obtain a transformation between the derived and reference fiducial spots. The transformation and the template corresponding coordinate system are used to register the image to the set of capture spots. The registered image is then analyzed in conjunction with spatial analyte data associated with each capture spot, thereby performing spatial analysis of analytes.

  • Patent number: 11459607
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compositions, and systems for multiplexed analysis of individual cells or cell populations. Cells encapsulated in beads and/or biomolecules are sequentially co-partitioned, allowing for analysis of two different types of biomolecules (e.g., RNA and DNA). The present invention leverages different polymer dissociation mechanisms, accompanied with barcoding of biomolecules (e.g., nucleic acid molecules) for multiplexed measurements in single cells. Sequential co-partitioning and barcode technology enables identification and quantitation of DNA and RNA from single cells.

  • Patent number: 11198866
    Abstract: Methods and systems for sample preparation techniques that allow amplification (e.g., whole genome amplification) and sequencing of chromatin accessible regions of single cells are provided. The methods and systems generally operate by forming or providing partitions (e.g., droplets) including a single biological particle and a single bead comprising a barcoded oligonucleotide. The preparation of barcoded next-generation sequencing libraries prepared from a single cell is facilitated by the transposon-mediated transposition and fragmentation of a target nucleic acid sequence. The methods and systems may be configured to allow the implementation of single-operation or multi-operation chemical and/or biochemical processing within the partitions.
