  • Publication number: 20220355292
    Abstract: This invention provides compositions and methods for detecting differences in copy number of a target polynucleotide. In some cases, the methods and compositions provided herein are useful for diagnosis of fetal genetic abnormalities, when the starting sample is maternal tissue (e.g., blood, plasma). The methods and materials described apply techniques for allowing detection of small, but statistically significant, differences in polynucleotide copy number.

  • Publication number: 20220349003
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, systems, and devices for polynucleotide processing and analyte characterization. Such polynucleotide processing may be useful for a variety of applications, including analyte characterization by polynucleotide sequencing. The compositions, methods, systems, and devices disclosed herein generally describe barcoded oligonucleotides, which can be bound to a bead, such as a gel bead, useful for characterizing one or more analytes including, for example, protein (e.g., cell surface or intracellular proteins), genomic DNA, and RNA (e.g., mRNA or CRISPR guide RNAs).

  • Publication number: 20220333191
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, compositions and systems for analyzing individual cells or cell populations through a partitioned analysis of contents of individual cells or cell populations, such as cancer cells and cells of the immune system. Individual cells or cell populations may be co-partitioned with processing reagents for accessing cellular contents, and for uniquely identifying the content of a given cell or cell population, and subsequently analyzing the content of the cell and characterizing it as having derived from an individual cell or cell population, including analysis and characterization of nucleic acid(s) from the cell through sequencing.

  • Patent number: 11407994
    Abstract: This invention relates to compositions of matter, methods, modules and instruments for automated mammalian cell growth and mammalian cell transduction followed by nucleic acid-guided nuclease editing in live mammalian cells. The present compositions and methods entail viral delivery of an editing cassette to live mammalian cells such that the editing cassettes edit the cells and the edited cells continue to grow, preferably using a fully-automated end-to-end instrument to process the cells without human intervention to enhance cell processing uniformity and to maintain the integrity of the cell culture.
