  • Publication number: 20250149118
    Abstract: Template nucleic acid fragments are generated in cells or nuclei using transposase-nucleic acid complexes. Partitions are formed, each comprising a single cell or nuclei, the corresponding plurality of template nucleic acid fragments and nucleic acid barcodes comprising a corresponding common barcode sequence unique to a respective cell or nuclei. Barcoded nucleic acid fragments are generated in each partition using the barcodes and the template fragments. The barcoded fragments in each partition collectively form a pool of barcoded nucleic acid fragments. A set of alleles for each locus in a plurality of loci are identified and, for each such locus, a subset of the pool of barcoded fragments mapping to the locus are aligned to determine an allelic identity of such fragments from among the set of alleles for the locus, thereby determining a corresponding allelic distribution at each respective locus. These distributions are used to identify a structural variation.

  • Publication number: 20240301459
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for analyzing a single cell application or experiment. A set of control beads may be introduced to a biological sample and subjected to the single cell application. The control beads may be configured to mimic analytes in the biological sample, such as a cell or other analyte, and comprise one or more known sequences. The one or more known sequences may be identified to analyze the single cell application.

  • Publication number: 20240271172
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, systems, and kits for processing nucleic acid molecules. A method may comprise providing a template nucleic acid fragment (e.g., within a cell, cell bead, or cell nucleus) within a partition (e.g., a droplet or well) and subjecting the template nucleic acid fragment to one or more processes including a barcoding process and a single primer extension or amplification process. The processed template nucleic acid fragment may then be recovered from the partition and subjected to further amplification to provide material for subsequent sequencing analysis. The methods provided herein may permit simultaneous processing and analysis of both DNA and RNA molecules (e.g., gRNA molecules) originating from the same cell, cell bead, or cell nucleus.

  • Publication number: 20240084292
    Abstract: Methods and systems for sample preparation techniques that allow amplification (e.g., whole genome amplification) and sequencing of chromatin accessible regions of single cells are provided. The methods and systems generally operate by forming or providing partitions (e.g., droplets) including a single biological particle and a single bead comprising a barcoded oligonucleotide. The preparation of barcoded next-generation sequencing libraries prepared from a single cell is facilitated by the transposon-mediated transposition and fragmentation of a target nucleic acid sequence. The methods and systems may be configured to allow the implementation of single-operation or multi-operation chemical and/or biochemical processing within the partitions.
