  • Publication number: 20230092323
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for generating single-cell molecular analysis comprising a) delivering one or more proximity dependent probes to a cell population, wherein each proximity dependent probe comprises a target binding region configured to bind a target RNA and a primer binding site region; b) linking bound proximity dependent probes; c) isolating single cells from the cell population in separate individual discrete volumes, the individual discrete volumes further comprising a primer pair and amplification reagents, wherein the primer pair binds to the primer binding sites of the ligation dependent probes, and wherein at least one primer comprises a barcode sequence that uniquely identifies the individual discrete volume; d) amplifying the ligated probes using the primer pair, wherein the barcode is incorporated into each resulting amplicon; and e) quantifying target RNAs in each individual cell based at least in part on sequencing the resulting amplicons.
