  • Publication number: 20260078367
    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. The nucleic acid molecule may be a nucleic acid molecule associated with CRISPR, (e.g., a guide RNA). 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 such as a guide 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.

  • Publication number: 20260002200
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for analyzing biomolecules (e.g., nucleic acid molecules, proteins). A method of analyzing a target ribonucleic acid (RNA), can include: (a) providing: (i) a target RNA, comprising a first target sequence and a second target sequence, and (ii) at least one probe including a first probe end hybridized to the first target sequence, and a second probe end hybridized to the second target sequence, wherein the first probe end hybridized to the first target sequence and the second probe end hybridized to the second target sequence are separated by a gap region. The method can further include filling the gap region and generating a probe-linked nucleic acid molecule including the at least one probe and the gap region.

  • Patent number: 12084715
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of preventing the amplification of artifactual antisense products when sequencing a target polynucleotide. Incorporation of modified nucleotides into handle polynucleotide sequences can allow for the selective degradation of artifact antisense products generated by mis-priming, prior to amplification, thus preventing them from appearing in the amplification library. Selective degradation can be accomplished using one or more agents configured to specifically cleave the handle polynucleotide at the modified nucleotide. Amplification can be performed using a primer that is configured to hybridize to the handle sequence and a second primer that is configured to hybridize to a complement of a target nucleotide.
