  • Publication number: 20200354784
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for target gene sequencing and single cell barcoding in conjunction with analysis of gene expression in single cells. In some embodiments, the target gene is an immune molecule, such as an antibody or TCR. In some embodiments, the methods can be used to carry out transcriptome sequencing, e.g., RNA sequencing, to capture transcriptome of single cells paired with full receptor immune receptor sequences such that information about the immune repertoire and transcriptome of a cell can be determined. Also provided are polynucleotide libraries for use in carrying out transcriptome analysis and immune molecule, e.g., antibody or TCR, sequencing.
