Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and systems for processing or analyzing a nucleic acid molecule. A method for processing or analyzing a double-stranded nucleic molecule may comprise providing the double-stranded nucleic acid molecule and a double-stranded adapter. The double-stranded adapter may comprise a nicking site within a sense strand or an anti-sense strand of the double-stranded adapter. The double-stranded adapter may then be coupled to the double-stranded nucleic acid molecule, and the double-stranded nucleic acid molecule coupled to the double-stranded adapter may be circularized to generate a circularized double-stranded nucleic acid molecule.

Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying a protein within a sample are provided herein. A panel of antibodies are acquired, none of which are specific for a single protein or family of proteins. Additionally, the binding properties of the antibodies in the panel are determined. Further, the protein is iteratively exposed to a panel of antibodies. Additionally, a set of antibodies which bind the protein are determined. The identity of the protein is determined using one or more deconvolution methods based on the known binding properties of the antibodies to match the set of antibodies to a sequence of a protein.
Abstract: Methods of uniquely labeling or barcoding molecules within a cell, a plurality of cells, and/or a tissue are provided. Kits for uniquely labeling or barcoding molecules within a cell, a plurality of cells, and/or a tissue are also provided. The molecules to be labeled may include, but are not limited to, RNAs, cDNAs, DNAs, proteins, peptides, and/or antigens.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present invention provides chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) methods. In particular, the present invention provides methods and compositions for performing ChIP (e.g., ChlP-seq) assays on small numbers or cells.
Abstract: A method of characterizing a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) stem cell (GSC), comprising culturing the GSC to provide a culture, contacting a first set of aliquots of the culture with individual compounds selected from a panel of compounds, identifying two or more of the selected compounds that cause more than a threshold level of cell death in the first set of aliquots, and characterizing the GSC as suitable for treatment with one or more combinations comprising the two or more identified compounds. A panel of chemical compounds, the compounds selected by a method comprising surgically resecting the tumor, culturing a GSC derived from GBM tissue derived from a GBM tumor, contacting aliquots thereof with individual compounds selected from a panel of compounds, and identifying two or more of the selected compounds that cause more than a threshold level of cell death in the aliquots, thereby identifying the compounds.
Abstract: Provided herein are methods of determining a surgical margin and the site and size of a tissue to be resected from a subject, and methods of use thereof.
Abstract: Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for multiplexing single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) samples. In some embodiments, the methods comprise chemically tagging cells with identifying sample tags (e.g., barcoded DNA oligonucleotides).
