Disclosed herein, inter alia, are methods and compositions for sequencing a plurality of template nucleic acids.

The invention describes a method for the synthesis of compounds comprising the steps of: (a) compartmentalising two or more sets of primary compounds into microcapsules; such that a proportion of the microcapsules contains two or more compounds; and (b) forming secondary compounds in the microcapsules by chemical reactions between primary compounds from different sets; wherein one or both of steps (a) and (b) is performed under microfluidic control; preferably electronic microfluidic control, The invention further allows for the identification of compounds which bind to a target component of a biochemical system or modulate the activity of the target, and which is co-compartmentalised into the microcapsules.

The present invention generally relates to droplet libraries and to systems and methods for the formation of libraries of droplets. The present invention also relates to methods utilizing these droplet libraries in various biological, chemical, or diagnostic assays.

Provided is a method of constructing a sequencing library. The method includes 1) providing a single-stranded DNA fragment from a biological sample; 2) subjecting the single-stranded DNA fragment to whole genomic amplification to obtain a whole genome amplification product; 3) fragmenting the whole genome amplification product using a transposase embedded with two adaptors to obtain a fragmented product with two adaptors respectively at two ends; and 4) amplifying the fragmented product with two adaptors respectively at two ends using a tag sequence and a pair of primers to obtain said sequencing library.

The invention generally relates to methods for quantifying an amount of enzyme molecules. Systems and methods of the invention are provided for measuring an amount of target by forming a plurality of fluid partitions, a subset of which include the target, performing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the subset, and detecting the number of partitions in the subset. The amount of target can be determined based on the detected number.
