  • Patent number: 11952626
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for processing biomolecules (e.g., nucleic acid molecules, proteins) from a sample. A method for processing biomolecules may comprise hybridizing a probe molecule to a target region of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule) and barcoding the probe-nucleic acid molecule complex or derivatives thereof. Such a method can comprise performing a nucleic acid reaction, e.g., extension, denaturation, and amplification. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing probes to (i) target regions of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., RNA molecule) and (ii) a reporter oligonucleotide of a feature binding group, and barcoding the probe-associated molecules. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed within a partition, such as a droplet or well.

  • Publication number: 20240102005
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for engineering antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, to have altered characteristics. The present disclosure also provides a high-throughput method useful for identifying the engineered antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, that acquired the altered characteristics having performed the methods. These methods and systems have implications, for example, in the rapid development of biotherapeutics having desired and/or improved, e.g., affinity, specificity and/or activity-related, characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20240060968
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of processing or analyzing a sample. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing a probe molecule to a target region of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule), barcoding the probe-nucleic acid molecule complex, and performing extension, denaturation, and amplification processes. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing first and second probes to adjacent or non-adjacent target regions of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., an RNA molecule), linking the first and second probes to provide a probe-linked nucleic acid molecule, and barcoding the probe-linked nucleic acid molecule. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed within a partition, such as a droplet or well. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed on a cell, such as a permeabilized cell.
