  • 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: 11965208
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for associating single cell sequencing data with phenotypic data and/or agent exposure. In some embodiments, cell indexing oligonucleotides comprising cell indexing sequences are associated with cells. In some embodiments, synthetic particles are associated with stochastic labels comprising cell indexing sequences. Sequential hybridizing and imaging of probes annealing to a cell indexing sequence can generate a spatial index. The spatial index can be employed to identify of the partition from which a sequenced nucleic acid target molecule originated.

  • Publication number: 20230340566
    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. There are provided, in some embodiments, methods of 5?-based and 3?-based gene expression profiling. Immune repertoire profiling methods are also provided in some embodiments.

  • 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: 20230057339
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and compositions for generating a high-resolution spatial map of a distribution of targets of a sample are described. Processes for generating the spatial map can include: receiving the sample at a substrate having a distribution of functionalized particles, each having a stochastic barcode sequence paired with a position on the substrate; promoting interactions between the distribution of targets of the sample and the distribution of functionalized particles upon transmitting heat to a surface of the substrate opposite the distribution of functionalized particles; applying a set of reactions to the sample at the substrate, obtaining a set of sequences of a population of molecules generated from the set of reactions, the set of sequences associated with the distribution of targets labeled using the stochastic barcode sequences of the distribution of functionalized particles, and returning a set of positions of the distribution of targets upon processing the set of sequences.

  • Publication number: 20220315988
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for PCR normalization. In some embodiments, after barcoding copies of a higher abundance target (e.g., a cDNA species), the barcoded copies are amplified using a pair of forward primers comprising one or more mismatches and a reverse primer. The amplified copies can be further linearly amplified using a forward primer comprising the sequence of one of the pair of forward primers, and a reverse primer.
