  • Publication number: 20230409629
    Abstract: In an example method, a series of time-based clustering images is generated for a plurality of library fragments from a genome sample. Each time-based clustering image in the series is sequentially generated. To generate each time-based clustering image in the series: i) a respective sample is introduced to a flow cell, the respective sample including contiguity preserved library fragments of the plurality of library fragments, wherein the contiguity preserved library fragments are attached to a solid support or are attached to each other; ii) the contiguity preserved library fragments are released from the solid support or from each other; iii) the contiguity preserved library fragments are amplified to generate a plurality of respective template strands; iv) the respective template strands are stained; and v) the respective template strands are imaged.
