Kits and methods of using the kits for analyzing macromolecules, including peptides, polypeptides, and proteins, employing nucleic acid encoding are disclosed. The sample analysis kits employ nucleic acid encoding and/or nucleic acid recording of a molecular interaction and/or reaction, such as recognition events (e.g., between an antigen and an antibody, between a modified terminal amino acid residue, or between a small molecule or peptide therapeutic and a target, etc.). Additional barcoding reagents, such as those for cycle-specific barcoding (e.g., “clocking”), compartment barcoding, combinatorial barcoding, spatial barcoding, or any combination thereof, may be included in the kits. The sample may comprise macromolecules, including peptides, polypeptides, and proteins, and the recording may generate molecular interaction and/or reaction information, and/or polypeptide sequence information. The kits may be used in high-throughput, multiplexed, and/or automated analysis, and are suitable for analysis of a proteome or subset thereof.

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 originating from the same cell, cell bead, or cell nucleus.

The invention relates to methods of enriching for target nucleic acid molecules, More particularly, the methods of enriching for target nucleic acid molecules comprise binding target nucleic acid molecules in a sample with one or more first target endonucleases that are specific to a first locus of a target region of the target nucleic acid molecules, separating the target nucleic acid molecules from nontarget nucleic acid molecules in the sample, and binding the separated target nucleic acid molecules with one or more second target endonucleases that are specific to a second locus of the target region of the target nucleic acid molecules, and uses thereof.
