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.

Provided are methods for preparing a library of target nucleic acid sequences, as well as compositions and uses therefor. Methods comprise contacting a nucleic acid sample with a plurality of adaptors capable of amplification of one or more target nucleic acid sequences under conditions wherein the target nucleic acid(s) undergo a first amplification; digesting the resulting first amplification products; repairing the digested target amplicons; and amplifying the repaired products in a second amplification, thereby producing a library of target nucleic acid sequence. Each of the plurality of adaptor compositions comprise a handle and a targeted nucleic acid sequence and optionally one or more tag sequences. Provided methods may be carried out in a single, addition only workflow reaction, allowing for rapid production of highly multiplexed targeted libraries, optionally including unique tag sequences. Resulting library compositions are useful for a variety of applications, including sequencing applications.

The present disclosure provides methods of processing or analyzing a sample. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing a probe molecule to a target region of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule), barcoding the probe-nucleic acid molecule complex, and performing extension, denaturation, and amplification processes. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing first and second probes to adjacent or non-adjacent target regions of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., an RNA molecule), linking the first and second probes to provide a probe-linked nucleic acid molecule, and barcoding the probe-linked nucleic acid molecule. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed within a partition, such as a droplet or well. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed on a cell, such as a permeabilized cell.

Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to methods of selecting cyclic peptides that bind to a target by transforming a phage display library with a plurality of nucleic acids into bacterial host cells, where the nucleic acids include phage coat protein genes with a combinatorial region that encodes at least one cysteine and at least one non-canonical amino acid. The transformation results in the production of phage particles with phage coat proteins where the cysteine and the non-canonical amino acid couple to one another to form a cyclic peptide library. Phage particles are then screened against the desired target to select bound cyclic peptides. Amino acid sequences of the selected cyclic peptides are then identified. Additional embodiments pertain to methods of constructing a phage display library that encodes the cyclic peptides. Further embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to the produced cyclic peptides, phage display libraries and phage particles.
