METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CHARACTERIZING MULTIPLE ANALYTES FROM INDIVIDUAL CELLS OR CELL POPULATIONS

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, systems, and devices for polynucleotide processing and analyte characterization from a single cell. Such polynucleotide processing may be useful for a variety of applications. 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, epigenetic information (e.g., accessible chromatin, DNA methylation), and RNA molecules (e.g., mRNA or CRISPR guide RNAs). In some cases, the disclosed methods comprise analysis of analytes from a cell using a cell bead.
