A kit for use with a nucleic acid sequencing instrument can include a plurality of combinatorial barcodes sequences meeting the following criteria: each of the combinatorial barcode sequences comprise a plurality of iterations of a sequence motif, where the sequence motif comprises a first nucleotide base from a first group of nucleotide bases followed by a second nucleotide base from a second group of nucleotide bases, the first group and the second group differing from each other; and the plurality of combinatorial barcode sequences is at least 1,000,000 different barcode sequences.

The present disclosure provides, in some embodiments, methods and compositions for single-molecule detection.

The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, systems, and devices for polynucleotide processing and antigen screening. Polynucleotide processing may be useful for a variety of applications. Antigen screening may comprise the use of one or more engineered cells. Engineered cells may be useful for characterizing one or more analytes including, for example, a polypeptide antigen.

The invention is directed to methods for synthesizing oligonucleotides direction on biomolecules or cells living or fixed. In some embodiments, template-free enzymatic synthesis is implemented under biological conditions with successive cycles of (i) enzymatic addition of a 3′-O-blocked nucleoside triphosphate and (ii) enzymatic deblocking of the incorporated nucleotide to regenerate a free 3′ hydroxyl. The invention has applications in single-cell cDNA library construction and analysis.

Disclosed herein are methods for tracking solutions, (e.g., reaction conditions in solutions). In some embodiments, the method comprises: contacting a first lanthanide-chelator complex to a first solution to generate a first barcoded solution, wherein the first lanthanide-chelator complex comprises a first lanthanide chelated by a first chelator; contacting a second lanthanide-chelator complex to a second solution to generate a second barcoded solution, wherein the second lanthanide-chelator complex comprises a second lanthanide chelated by a second chelator; mixing the first barcoded solution and the second barcoded solution to form one or more mixtures; and identifying the first lanthanide ions in the mass spectrum and the second lanthanide ions in the mass spectrum to track the condition of each of the one or more mixtures.

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) and chromatin (e.g., accessible chromatin).
