  • Patent number: 11639928
    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.

    Abstract: Methods, kit, systems, and compositions for processing nucleic acids and barcoding nucleic acids are disclosed. The methods and systems generally may comprise the presence of a support comprising nucleic acid barcode molecules which may be used to interact with nucleic acids to generate barcoded nucleic acid molecules. The support may have a plurality of nucleic acid barcode molecules that are able to barcode multiple analytes. This may allow the identification of multiple types of analytes and correlating the analytes as originating from a same biological particle. A splint and primer nucleic acids may also be used to generate barcoded nucleic acids. The methods and systems can be applied to a variety of biological samples and can analyze different nucleic acids, proteins, or other macromolecules of the biological samples.
