Provided in the present invention is an enzyme reaction solution for constructing a sequencing library and the use thereof. The enzyme reaction solution comprises an enzyme composition and a reaction buffer, wherein the enzyme composition comprises a nucleic acid endonuclease, a DNA polymerase, and a polynucleotide kinase; and the reaction buffer comprises a metal salt, a substrate, and a buffer medium aqueous solution. The present application aims to optimize the formulation of an enzyme reaction solution. The cleavage, terminal repair and addition of A to the terminal of a nucleic acid sample is achieved by a one-step reaction. In a suitable buffer system, the enzyme digestion reaction rate and the terminal repair reaction rate reach a balance. In the case where the initial amount of the sample is 100 pg to 1 .Math.g and the processing time is the same, a sequencing library with a consistent length distribution is obtained.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for single-cell nucleic acid sequencing, and specifically provides for pre-amplifying target nucleic acids in a manner that allows for more proportionate detection of all target nucleic acids, including low prevalence/abundance RNAs, from individual cells. The disclosure also provides for application of a series of barcoding steps to associate cell-specific identifiers (IDs) to the targeted nucleotide sequences, and ultimately provides for increased throughput capacity and greater accuracy of single-cell nucleic acid sequencing. Certain aspects of the present disclosure also provide for improved quantitative detection of nucleic acid sequence barcodes, which in embodiments allows for highly sensitive quantitative detection of barcoded antibody levels and/or highly sensitive quantitative detection of barcoded antibody-bound protein levels (e.g., where specific antibodies are labeled with a barcoded oligonucleotide that is specific to each barcoded antibody's target. In such approaches, the oligonucleotide barcode can serve as a target nucleic acid sequence for the capture probes of the instant disclosure. Compositions, methods and kits related to specific combinations of capture probes are also provided.
