  • Publication number: 20200248176
    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.

  • Publication number: 20200168297
    Abstract: Systems and methods for inferring a status of a cell population are provided. Described techniques allow deconvolving a first clonal population comprising a first plurality of cells of a species, wherein nucleic acid sequence reads from each cell in the first plurality of cells are obtained. The nucleic acid sequence reads are mapped into bins representing portions of a reference genome, and a pattern of sequence read counts for each cell across the multiple bins is used to assign a cell to a group, thereby inferring a mitotic status of the cell. The assignment of nucleic acid sequence reads into bins is also be used for segregating cells into classes based on a status of a certain biological marker in each cell. Comparison of sequence read counts for a subset of bins across the cell classes allows evaluating effect of a compound on a cell status.

  • Publication number: 20200013488
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for detecting infections in a clinical sample are provided. Small-volume clinical samples obtained at a point-of-service (POS) location and may be tested at the POS location for multiple markers for multiple diseases, including upper and lower respiratory diseases. Samples may be tested for cytokines, or for inflammation indicators. Dilution of samples, or levels of detection, may be determined by the condition or past history of a subject. Test results may be obtained within a short amount of time after sample placement in a testing device, or within a short amount of time after being obtained from the subject. A prescription for treatment of a detected disorder may be provided, and may be filled, at the POS location. A bill may be automatically generated for the testing, or for the prescription, may be automatically sent to an insurance provider, and payment may be automatically obtained.
