  • Publication number: 20250102513
    Abstract: Kits and methods of using the kits for analyzing macromolecules, including peptides, polypeptides, and proteins, employing nucleic acid encoding are disclosed. The sample analysis kits employ nucleic acid encoding and/or nucleic acid recording of a molecular interaction and/or reaction, such as recognition events (e.g., between an antigen and an antibody, between a modified terminal amino acid residue, or between a small molecule or peptide therapeutic and a target, etc.). Additional barcoding reagents, such as those for cycle-specific barcoding (e.g., “clocking”), compartment barcoding, combinatorial barcoding, spatial barcoding, or any combination thereof, may be included in the kits. The sample may comprise macromolecules, including peptides, polypeptides, and proteins, and the recording may generate molecular interaction and/or reaction information, and/or polypeptide sequence information.

  • Publication number: 20250101501
    Abstract: The present invention provides assays and assay systems for use in spatially encoded biological assays. The invention provides an assay system comprising an assay capable of high levels of multiplexing where reagents are provided to a biological sample in defined spatial patterns; instrumentation capable of controlled delivery of reagents according to the spatial patterns; and a decoding scheme providing a readout that is digital in nature.

  • Publication number: 20250101496
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for high throughput analysis of analytes such as polypeptides in a cyclic manner (e.g., using NGPA or NGPS described herein) that allow adjustment of the dynamic range and sensitivity of analyte detection, for instance, based on the abundances of different polypeptides present in a sample to be analyzed. The approaches proposed herein can be used to adjust the dynamic range of abundant analytes (e.g., polypeptides present in high concentrations) in biological samples, such as plasma samples, and to increase proteome coverage achieved by high throughput protein analysis methods, for instance, by improving the sensitivity of detecting less abundant analytes.
