  • Publication number: 20240084287
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the analysis of complex single cell sequencing libraries. Disclosed are methods for enrichment of library members based on the presence of cell-of origin barcodes to identify and concentrate DNA that is relevant to interesting cells or components that would be expensive or difficult to study otherwise. Also, disclosed are methods of capturing cDNA library molecules by use of CRISPR systems, hybridization or PCR. The present invention allows for identifying the properties of rare cells in single cell RNA-seq data and accurately profile them through clustering approaches. Further information on transcript abundances from subpopulations of single cells can be analyzed at a lower sequencing effort. The methods also allow for linking TCR alpha and beta chains at the single cell level.

  • Publication number: 20210139941
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for screening biological functions of microscale biological systems comprises segregating each microscale biological system from a set of microscale biological systems to be screened into individual discrete volumes, the individual discrete volume comprising a first polymer. The first polymer is then forced or allowed to polymerize to form a set of polymerized beads that encapsulate an individual microscale biological system. The polymerized beads are further encapsulated in a second droplet comprising a second polymer and one or more reporter elements. The reporter elements are configured to produce a readout upon detecting the absence or presence of a biological function to be screened. The second polymer is then forced or allowed to polymerize to form an outer capsule around each individual bead thereby forming a set of encapsulated beads. One or more biological functions of the double-encapsulated system are identified by detecting the readout of the reporters.
