  • Patent number: 12534760
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, systems, and devices for polynucleotide processing and analyte characterization. Such polynucleotide processing may be useful for a variety of applications, including analyte characterization by polynucleotide sequencing. The compositions, methods, systems, and devices disclosed herein generally describe barcoded oligonucleotides, which can be bound to a bead, such as a gel bead, useful for characterizing one or more analytes including, for example, protein (e.g., cell surface or intracellular proteins), genomic DNA, and RNA (e.g., mRNA or CRISPR guide RNAs). Also described herein, are barcoded labelling agents and oligonucleotide molecules useful for “tagging” analytes for characterization.

  • Publication number: 20250085199
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for cell and bead processing or analysis. A method for processing a cell or bead may comprise subjecting a bead to conditions sufficient to change a first characteristic or set of characteristics (e.g., cell or bead size).
