Systems and methods for associating single cell imaging data with RNA transcriptomics. Single cells are isolated into microwells with a microbead having oligonucleotides conjugated on its surface. Each oligonucleotide includes a cell identifying optical barcode that is unique to that bead and binding sequence for RNA capture after cell lysis. The system is configured for loading single cells into the microarray and for flowing cell lysis buffers and other reagents into the microarray for performing RNA library sample preparation. The system is also configured for lowing optical hybridization probes that are complementary to the cell identifying optical barcodes and optically labeled onto the microwell array and for obtaining images of the microwells in response to the probes. The system and unique cell identifying optical barcodes and complementary optical hybridization probes facilitate a link between phenotypic imaging of cells resident on the microwell array with single cell whole transcriptome sequencing.

The disclosure provides compositions, methods, and systems for extremely accurate generation of nucleic acid libraries, without use of bulk amplification methods. Accurate library preparation is achieved in a rapid manner, with respect to sample partitioning and amplification in a manner that achieves high performance in relation to low levels of amplification bias and low levels of artifact/chimeric sequence generation. Implementation of methods described also achieve library preparation with significantly reduced false positive rates, across a wide variety of applications.

The present invention relates to a technique for genomic library screening and provides a method for separating, capturing, analyzing, and retrieving cells and cell products by using a microstructure that can be preferentially applied to the field of antibody engineering for the development of new therapeutic antibodies and can be extensively applied to multiple genetic/phenotypic analysis of various biochemical molecules, for example, in the field of protein engineering and metabolic engineering.

The invention pertains to construction of next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) libraries for whole genome sequencing, targeted resequencing, sequencing-based screening assays, metagenomics, or any other application requiring sample preparation for NGS.

This invention provides ultra-sensitive methods and compositions for detecting patient-specific mutations from cell free nucleic acids (cfDNA) without sequencing. Methods of the invention make use of fluidic partitions for multiplex amplification of cfDNA and thereby create a library of uniformly amplified amplicons. The uniformly amplified amplicons can be split into any number of different detection reactions (while maintaining detection sensitivity) for single-plex detection of mutations present in cfDNA. These methods provide substantially improved signal to noise ratio and easier discrimination of low-abundance mutations.
