  • Publication number: 20220373544
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include methods, systems, compositions and kits for determining cell-cell interaction, for example, using nucleic acid sequencing. The method can match a cell barcode sequence associated with a cell of a plurality of cells with a cell barcode sequence associated with a partition of a plurality of partitions to identify the partition the cell has originated from in the plurality of partitions. In some embodiments, a pair of interacting cells within a partition are attached with a common cell barcode. The nucleic acid sequences of the pair of interacting cells having the common cell barcode can be tracked to the partition the pair of interacting cells has originated from, where phenotypic observables of the interacting cells can be obtained, for example, using optical imaging, thereby linking cell nucleic acid sequences such as expression profiles to cell functionality and the nature of the cell-cell interaction.
