    Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods for the production and quantification of barcoded or unique molecular identifier (UMI)-labeled substrates. In one aspect, the substrate is a bead comprising a template oligonucleotide that is elongated by successive extension reactions to provide a bead with an oligonucleotide comprising a plurality of barcodes and conserved anchor regions. Methods are also described for quantifying the amount of template oligonucleotide loaded onto the substrate and the products of the extension reaction after each round and after the final extension.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9922368
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for auctioning gift cards on the secondary market. The system can receive a prepaid debit account for resale from an owner and determine a face value for the prepaid debit account. The system can establish a floor price and offer the prepaid debit account for sale via an auction, starting at an initial price above the floor price and up to and including the face value, and can decrement the sale price at regular time intervals. The system can end the auction when a purchaser purchases the prepaid debit account at the decremented price. However, if no purchaser purchases the prepaid debit account before the decremented price is below the floor price, the system can purchase the prepaid debit account from the owner for the floor price. The system can store the prepaid debit account in an inventory for resale.
